The view here goes straight west along the canyon toward an unnamed peak of about 6700 ft elevation. The trail becomes an increasingly narrow single track.

The trailhead is at a small turnaround parking that can be reached at the end of Forest Rd 419 quite easily when dry, though it can get muddy after rain or snowfall in winter. Y-Bar is a somewhat steep trail climbing southwest toward Mazatzal Peak. Barnhardt trail is more gradual and continues for miles into the backcountry. It it possible to make a loop by connecting the two trails around Mazatzal Peak. Both become rough and involve some walk-a-bike.

This part of the Highline Trail is a particularly nice spot to pause and take in the views of Washington Park and the Mogollon Rim in the distance.

There are plenty of dispersed campsites along the Horton Creek Trail, making it a popular spot to stop for the night during a hike along the Highline Trail. You may need to follow the trail for a bit to find some of the more established sites, but wherever you set up it's good practice to leave no trace when you pack up.

This trailhead is accessible via State Highway 260 and Forest Road 289 and leads up Horton Creek Train and Derrick Trail eventually connecting to the Highline Trail. There are vault toilets but no drinking water here. Adjacent to the trailhead, the Upper Tonto Creek Campground has six campsites and three picnic sites, equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills.

This creek bed runs through the trails on the north end of the park. You will want appropriate footwear hiking through the trails around Pine Creek since it can be rocky and sometimes slippery in the creek bed and its surrounding area.

This small waterfall along the Barnhardt Trail is great to catch after some rainfall. It marks a good turn around point to make this trail a day hike and is a good spot to stop and rest.

This is a very popular State Park and hiking location with viewpoints of the Tonto Natural Bridge and trails surrounding the area. Try to get there early in the morning on weekends as it is quite popular, especially in the warmer months. There is a $7 entrance fee for adults (14+) and the park is typically open from 9-5 daily.
