Hiking the 13th, and penultimate, segment of the General Crook Trail from the Holcomb Homestead in Phoenix Park (V99) past Hess Draw, Potato Patch, East Lincoln Ridge and Decker Wash, to FR 124 at ZB Draw (V107).

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.
