Overview

The Roosevelt Lake region within the Tonto National Forest is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. There are countless trails that lead you to incredible scenic vistas, but none like the one leading to Parker Point. This trail is an easy side trip or an excellent camping location for exploring the other area trails. The trail leads you along the normally dry Parker Creek, where a couple of small campsites can be found. Gradually, the canyon begins to come into view as you work your way along, eventually leading out to a breathtaking canyon 800 feet above the Tonto Basin region. You will find a couple of campfire rings along the canyon rim and several vantage points to walk out for photographs.
