The Schultz Trailhead in Flagstaff is a gateway to the Mount Elden/Dry Lake Hills Trail System. These trails are open to mountain biking and horseback riding through ponderosa pine forests and seasonal wildflower fields. The trailhead connects to routes like the Schultz Creek Trail, known for its moderate elevation changes and natural beauty. There are no restrooms, and trail closures are checked for in winter when access roads are affected by snow.

Fun flow trail, easy access from Schultz pass RD. Please don’t shuttle, it’s a nice gradual climb on FR.
