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.

Jakes Corner is exactly that, a corner along two roads that meet in the middle of the desert. You'll find a Bar & Grill, RV Park, and General Store. It's a great place to top up your supplies and maybe stop for lunch or stay the night before continuing on your journey.

This is a nice, challenging trail that leads through some rocky terrain and switchbacks, but offers varied foliage and beautiful views. It can get pretty hot on this trail in the summer, so plan your departure accordingly and be sure to bring enough water.

Great trail into the high backcountry. It has challenging sections with some rocky terrain and switchbacks, but offers varied foliage and beautiful views.

Fairly gradual from the trailhead up to here following the drainage, here the trail begins to climb in steeper switchbacks

Barnhardt Road near Payson, AZ is a mud/dirt access road which narrows after 4 miles into the Barnhardt Trail, known as the gateway to the Mazatzal Wilderness area and connects with the Mazatzal Divide which is part of the Arizona Trail. The beginning is bikeable, after that the hike leads to several medium size waterfalls, so it's at its best in spring or during a period of considerable moisture in the area as the falls are seasonal. Three-and-a-half miles up Barnhardt Trail’s many switchbacks, you will arrive at a grotto in the mountainside. A shallow pool of cool water, often dry in the summer, flows out of the almost hidden waterfall a few yards back in the narrow opening in the grotto. Moderate difficulty for mountain biking for the first few miles, then it is best to leave the bike and hike the last mile or so to the first falls. The trail begins at Barnhardt Trailhead, four miles west from highway 260. The dirt road is usually well maintained and easily accessible by a passenger car when dry. After rains it is best to leave the car before tire tracks become too deep and muddy. But even if started further below the landscape approaching the mountains is beautiful. The dirt road dead ends at the trailhead with a large parking area. This trailhead serves both Barnhardt Trail #43 and Y-Bar Trail #44 which heads southwest. http://arizonahikersguide.com/barnhardt-trail http://www.paysonroundup.com/news/2012/apr/11/hiking-barnhardt-trail http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/tonto/null/recarea/?recid=35281&actid=50
