HIKING THE HIGH DESERT
West Fork of Oak Creek Trail
West Fork Trail is touted to be one of the best trails in Arizona and one of the top 10 trails in the United States.    The trail is
approximately 6 miles round trip and is rated easy.  Although, there are a few areas where short uphill stepping stones are used.  There
are also numerous stream crossings (at least 13) which are done with stepping stones and logs. At the end of the trail a pool of water
surrounded by cliffs is encountered.  Passage from this point requires wading in water.  It is possible to travel another 11 miles
upstream requires boulder hopping, wading and even some swimming.  This extended hike is an overnight adventure.
