Before you go
Conditions, access, and honest warnings.
- Runs right along the rim edge with continuous views south over the Tonto Basin.
- Nearly flat and family friendly, but the drop-off is unfenced the entire way.
- Get off the exposed rim immediately if you hear thunder, this is a lightning corridor.
