To hike
From Globe (junction at US60), drive southeast along US70 approximately 24.2 miles to SC-8. SC-8 to Point of Pines is a paved highway. There are NO services of any kind at Point of Pines. Drive along SC-8 for approximately 53.5 mile to SC-4. The turn for SC-4 is just outside of Point of Pines. The remainder of the drive to Whites Crossing is gravel/dirt. If it's raining, be prepared for horrendous mud. The area around Point of Pines can be rather confusing. Keep your eyes open for Black River signs and stay on the main roads.

From the SC-4 turn you will continue east/northeast along SC-8 for approximately 11.8 miles to SC-2008. SC-2008 is an un-maintained high-clearance road. Drive northeast along SC-2008 for approximately 2.5 miles down to the camping/parking area along the river at Whites Crossing. There will be a fork just before reaching the river. Turning right will head to the crossing. See attached topo maps for clarification of the area along SC-2008.

!!WARNING!! Whites Crossing is a remote location, deep within the San Carlos Reservation. The nearest cell phone signal is over 65 miles away. Use caution and discretion during ALL activities. You're on your own!
