The Middle (North) Oak Creek Trail is accessed outside of the Scenic Loop on Highway 159. The easy trail through the open desert is a great way to access Oak Creek Canyon and the surrounding area without paying the Scenic Loop entry fee or having to make a reservation. You get amazing panoramic views of Oak Creek Canyon, Mt. Wilson, and Rainbow Mountain. Toward the beginning of the trail near the highway you also pass by some large Joshua Trees that escaped a wildfire many years ago.
