FR 513A

Nestled in a group of interesting side trails on the eastern portion of the vast Coconino National Forest, FR 513A cuts through a deep Ponderosa pine forest. Free-range cattle graze the area in summer. But elk, deer, turkeys, and the occasional black bear also call this forest home. While not far off the pavement, this area is often overlooked by campers and adventurists. FR 513A makes for an interesting little drive with fine scenery and just enough challenge to hold your interest and make your passenger reach for the grab handle now and then. Combined with the other similar trails nearby, this little gem can be part of a very enjoyable afternoon on the trails without the usual weekend crowds.
