Hiking General Crook Trail: V6-V16

Hiking the 3rd segment of the General Crook Trail from Clear Creek Campground, across West Clear Creek, over Wingfield Mesa, along Black Mountain Canyon, past Thirteenmile Rock Butte, to Sawlog Tank #2 / FR 9243D. (I skipped the eight "sidewalk" miles through the town of Camp Verde.) Tons of flowers!

In 1871, General George Crook surveyed a supply road west from Fort Apache, Arizona, across the Mogollon Rim to Camp Verde, then on 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.
