At this trailhead you can access both the Arizona Trail and the Highline Trail. The two trails split at this point, the AZT going up to the Mogollon Rim, the Highline Trail continuing west.

The East Verde River is a reliable source of water, and camping opportunities are available right along the river. A trail register is located a little further east.

It is remote, outside Payson, AZ but a great hike with some climbing and a fun spot to see where the railroad tunnel was started.
