Land OwnerTonto National Forest
Starting at the small parking area off North Power Rd, it's a gradual but steady climb for most of the way heading east to Usery Pass Road. The trail winds back and forth, with great views of Red Mountain and the surrounding range. The benefit of the long climb is, it's all down hill on the way back
Access Info
Small parking areas (6-8 cars) on either end of this trail.
