the hike |
Beautiful hike in Flagstaff. We’ll go counterclockwise:
Starting at the Schulz Creek Trailhead take the Rocky Ridge Trail, then
the Brookbank Trail, Little Gnarly Trail and finally the Shultz Creek Trail.
We may see water running in the creek. Parts of this hike are steep,
but we’ll be in the shade of pines, aspen and Douglas fir.
Mileage may vary on this hike as the trails are not very well marked.
Come with a flexible outlook on mileage and we’ll have a great time.
This hike is described in Footloose from Phoenix, by Ted Tenny, pages 273-279. |
