Hiking the second part of the 8th segment of the General Crook Trail from FR 115 (V57) to Promontory Lookout (V62) in the Sitgreaves National Forest, via Horseshoe Lake and Promontory Point.

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

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.
