FR 195 - Tonto National Forest

If camping and exploring trails in the pines with your 4x4 sounds like a great time, then this would be the spot to start. Camping in this area makes for a great starting point for exploring the Arizona Mogollon Rim country near Payson, Arizona. The trail is easily accessible from FR64, Control Road and located near the East Verde Creek at Verde Glen. All within an easy trail ride from camp, you can hunt geodes at Brody Hill, rock crawl Pyeatt Draw or go for a hike on the Highline Trail #31. Along this route you can visit an old recreation site where the foundations and walkways are barely visible. The trail has many beautiful dispersed campsites along the way, the one at the end is below the Mogollon Rim, also allowing access to the Highline Hiking Trail.
