Humphreys Trail No. 51

San Francisco Peaks groundsel (packera franciscana) is a rare member of the aster family found only on the alpine tundra talus slopes of the San Fracisco Peaks. Off-trail hiking is prohibited above the treeline to protect the fragile habitat of this rare flower. View along Humphreys Trail No. 50. The trail starts at the Arizona Snowbowl and winds steeply up to Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet. Humphreys Peak is one of several named peaks in the San Francisco Peaks (aka San Francisco Mountain or simply "the Peaks"). The mountain is an extinct stratovolcano. The 5+ mile hike ascends over an elevation gain of over 3,000 feet, and generally take 6 to 8 hours to complete. Brent Johnston of the Coconino National Forest took this photo on a weekend family hike, July 24, 2015. Credit: U.S. Forest Service, Coconino National Forest.

Fred Haught Trail #141

Much of the trail is well marked with "Cabin Loop Trail" markers. This is a beautiful hike through General Springs Canyon to a spur trail to Fred Haught's cabin. From here, the trail meanders out of the canyon, through Quien Sabes Draw, and finally to Pinchot Cabin in Houston Draw. This historic trail is part of the Cabin Loop Trail System. It was named after a rancher who once used it to move cattle and supplies from ridge to ridge and valley to valley in the once roadless wilderness above the Mogollon Rim. The Arizona Trail follows Fred Haught Trail for three miles from General Springs Cabin to shortly before the Fred Haught Cabin spur trail. If you're hiking the Arizona Trail, make sure to make a side-trip the old cabin site before continuing your journey. The trail may be accessed on FR 95 at Houston Draw, FR 719 at Fred Haught Ridge, and FR 300 at General Springs Cabin. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, October 15, 2015. Credit: U. S.

Fred Haught Trail #141

This is a beautiful hike through General Springs Canyon to a spur trail to Fred Haught's cabin. From here, the trail meanders out of the canyon, through Quien Sabes Draw, and finally to Pinchot Cabin in Houston Draw. This historic trail is part of the Cabin Loop Trail System. It was named after a rancher who once used it to move cattle and supplies from ridge to ridge and valley to valley in the once roadless wilderness above the Mogollon Rim. The Arizona Trail follows Fred Haught Trail for three miles from General Springs Cabin to shortly before the Fred Haught Cabin spur trail. If you're hiking the Arizona Trail, make sure to make a side-trip the old cabin site before continuing your journey. The trail may be accessed on FR 95 at Houston Draw, FR 719 at Fred Haught Ridge, and FR 300 at General Springs Cabin. Photo by Deborah Lee Soltesz, October 15, 2015.
