This is the northernmost section of the Arizona Trail. It starts in the middle of nowhere just off Houserock Road at the Utah border. Very nice trailhead. The sign-in sheet had maybe 10 people a week from all over the world. But I think most just do an out-and-back or just sign the register. The trail starts climbing on some well-constructed and well-engineered switchbacks. Once up on the Kaibab Plateau you are in a Pinyon-juniper habitat that heads generally south to Winter Road. There is a nice campsite just west of the Winter Road Trailhead. We had packed light expecting nighttime temperatures in the upper 30's. It hit the low(low) 20's so we were cold.
