I just got the August 2012 issue of Arizona Highways. There is a picture of Walnut Canyon on the AZ Trail, see page 23 please. Where is this and how do I get there??? I see several hikes on our Hike AZ site that may be in that general area, but there are not full trail descriptions listed at this time. Sooooo, I am looking specifically for how to get down to this trail in the AZ Highways magazine, which trail will lead there?? Please help! Wanting to try to go there in August. Thanks so much to you all for any help you can offer!

Segment in Walnut Canyon the Arizona Trail follows
Fisher Point via Sandy's Canyon
- directions at the bottom of the page
- Canyon Vista Campground appears to be the key

Yep, Joe's got it right. The shot you speak of is looking down on the canyon floor below Fisher Point.
