Hiking General Crook Trail: V43-V51

Hiking the 7th segment of the General Crook Trail from General Springs Cabin (V43) to the intersection of Coconino National Forest Road 137 (V51) and Rim Road. Temperature was perfect, but it was EXCEPTIONALLY windy.

In 1871, General George Crook surveyed a supply road west from Fort Apache, Arizona, across the Mogollon Rim to Camp Verde, then oon to Fort Whipple in Prescott. The General Crook Road was built in 1872. The Army used the road until 1896, and civilians until 1928, when Rim Road replaced it.

P markers represent miles west of Camp Verde. V markers represent miles east of Camp Verde.
