Fossil Creek hiking past Waterfall to caves or grottoes

Has anyone ever hiked up creek from the Waterfall at the end of Fossil Creek Waterfall Trail? (Now called the Dixon Lewis Trail). Is there a way to walk to the top of that Waterfall and further back to play in the water? Trail? Bushwhacking? Is there an area called the caves or the grottoes or the T...

Re: Closed / Abandoned Fire Lookouts

@chumley Wow love the map and thanks so much! On a vacation last summer we went to the Round Mountain Lookout. We had so much fun going up that crazy four wheel road we thought we'd look for more. From the top of that rickety tower the views were amazing of course. Can't even specifically remember ...

Re: Closed / Abandoned Fire Lookouts

@azbackpackr Thanks for the specific fire towers. We live in Tucson but do get to Alpine and Flagstaff on a fairly regular basis so your suggestions are appreciated!

Re: Best Social Distancing Trails Sedona / Flagstaff

On a week night camp at Lava River Cave North West of Flagstaff. Enter it late at night when there is no one else there and hike to the end of it and turn your lights off. We have been there during the day once and that was enough for us! That was the day I found out my husband is not a fan of cave...

Re: Best Social Distancing Trails Sedona / Flagstaff

Since I'm not sure which hikes lead to water or to vortexes etc etc etc...I am wondering what are some hikes you all would recommend that are faves but a bit less populated perhaps? I know they closed some trails because they either were way too crowded or maybe trail too narrow. If it's a bit busy ...

My husband and I are staying in a cabin up Oak Creek Canyon in June. Looking for some nice hikes but trying to keep off the more populated trails. We really want to do West Fork again, past the end and in to the water because it's so beautiful way back there. However, the main trail (when open) is a...
