    To hike
    From Safford, head east on Highway 70/191. 10 miles from Safford, the highway splits, turn left onto Highway 191 and follow it for another 23.75 miles to a highway junction known as 3-Way (old drive-in movie theater and store). Turn left onto Highway 191 and follow it north for approximately 27.5 miles to milepost 176.3, where there is a square brown and white hiking logo sign on the right (2 miles before Granville Campground). Make a sharp switchback turn to the right onto the easily overlooked trailhead access road (2 wheel drive high clearance), and follow it to a fork at about 0.85 miles. There is a sign at the fork indicating Frye Trail to the left, and Sardine Trail to the right. You can park at the large turnaround at the fork, or drive right and reach the signed trailhead for the Sardine Trail at the road's end in another 0.15 miles.
