Great day hiking and great views. I was here unfortunately for fire suppression on the Highline fire in June of 2017. Awesome shed/antler hunting area and nature watching opportunities. Many great water features, i.e.) water holes, cliff jumping, fishing, water slides, and small waterfalls throughout this area. Very conveniently located to payson and Houston mesa campground area.
