    To hike
    Take US 60 east out of Apache Junction. A couple miles past Florence Junction turn north onto Queen Valley Road and follow 1.6 miles. Turn right onto FS 357 (Hewlett Station Road) and follow about three miles to FS 172. Turn left onto FS 172 and follow to 172B/172A junction. Follow 172B for maybe 0.2 miles (I didn't check the odometer) to FS 192B. FS192B is not marked as of this writing. It's extremely rutted. I've driven the road in stock 4x4 Tacoma but I don't recommend it. Therefore this hike starts at the junction of 172B/192B.

    11/12/2007 Kanode adds: I asked the Forest Service about FR 192b and was told that it is closed to motor vehicles.
