Hiking General Crook Trail: V89-V99

Hiking the rainy 12th segment of the General Crook Trail from FR 487 (V89), in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, to the Holcomb Homestead ruins (V99) in Phoenix Park (a prairie between Brahma Draw and West Park Draw).

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.
