サンフランシスコのピーク周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ16

From the bridge, you can turn onto a smaller forest road to get to Buffalo Crossing Campground. There is also a trail starting at the bridge leading along the beautiful East Fork Black River. The river itself is a great place for fishing.

The small town of Alpine offers some basic services and is located close to Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. There is a gas station with a small outfitter, a restaurant, motel and a general store with a decent variety of groceries. The outfitter also has information about the best fishing spots in the area. Alpine was settled in 1876 by a European-American as a trading post.

Located in the middle of the beautiful Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, this is a great place to start a hike along the East Fork Black River. Just off the dirt road, there is a small area to park you car and people might also camp out here. You have good access to the river for taking a dip or fishing for trout.

McKibbins Road is a rough backcountry road that leads to some really nice campsites with stunning views of the Black River gorge. Just follow the road to the very end. At this location, however, you are able to access the Black River since it is the only flat-ish area without dangerous cliffs. There is no trail, so you need to navigate on your own and deal with some bushwhacking.

Located deeply in the White Mountains, Aker Lake is a true gem and a (not so secret) spot for fishing: the lake is one of very few waters in Arizona where you can catch Apache Trout and Grayling. And even if you are not here for the catch, you can take a hike into the nicely forested area. The Aker Lake trail is 3.5 miles that will take you to the Hannagan campground. There is also a lot of wildlife around. We even saw a bald eagle catching a fish from the lake.

Deep in Bear Valley, you will find the source of the beautiful Little Blue Creek that is anything little, as it spans several kilometers until it reaches Blue River, further south. Take a break and enjoy this peaceful oasis!

Right at the border of Arizona and New Mexico, the Tige Rim Trail keeps to the high ground. As you wander this beautiful canyon carved landscape that skirts Pueblo and Tige Canyon to the east, then Steeple Canyon to the west, you are amazed at what the Blue Range has to offer!

Good views provide a scenic starting point for this trail into the Bear Wallow Wilderness. The views extend as far as Mount Graham in the Pinaleno Range. This stunning panorama accompanies you much of the way down the steep switchbacks that begin the descent of the trail into a side drain of Bear Wallow Creek and eventually into the bottom of the canyon. Gobbler Point is the steepest trail leading into the desert.
