To Upper Horrell Trailhead From SR 188 turn off onto 449 (also called J-B) just past milepost 235 Follow 449 about two miles to the junction with Cross P Ranch. FR449A is located through the white fence to the left of the Ranch. FR449A is said to be possibly used by high clearance vehicles. I wouldn't recommend. There are some deep sections of sand as well as a couple creek crossings. This is no place to get stuck, no cell phone signal and a long day hike back to SR88. Follow FR449A about six miles to the Upper Horrell(Campaign) Trailhead parking. Along FR449A notice the awesome slot canyon passed along the way.
From PHX (I-10 & AZ-51) 112 mi - about 2 hours 25 mins From TUC (Jct 1-10 & Grant) 154 mi - about 3 hours 28 mins From FLG (Jct I-17 & I-40) 178 mi - about 4 hours 18 mins
