I wasn't sure about this trail. It kind of follows the fence line on the other side of ShowLow Creek. There is also a frisbee golf course along the trail. Instead of turning around with the track I went to the end of the fence and still didn't hit the "Bluff". From there I went through the fence and down to the meadow and followed the creek back. I felt short changed so went back out on the trail and followed a different route up on the "Bluff" and found a neighborhood up there with their own trailhead of some sort heading down to Bluff. It was starting to get muddy so I stayed up top and walked on the pavement back to where Route Scout showed I was about even with my starting point. Found an old dirt road that took me back down to the trail where I started.
Note!! This area has been updated. They have added bathrooms at the parking lot. They have also put in a paved path on this side of the creek all the way back to where they are building a hotel I believe. It is probably between .5 and 1 mile each way. This will be another great little hike for me and the grandkids!!
:) :D :y:

Belated post from my Pinetop vacation. This log is for a hike that occurred over a couple of days. The TH is literally just off of the 260 with enough parking for about 15 cars. There is an info kiosk there with information about the trail as well facts about fish that (I would presume) inhabit the nearby stream. There were actually a couple of groups fishing there on our first visit. The trail starts off as a paved fenced path that took us through a field and across the stream. Once the trail reaches the other side, it becomes dirt and quickly splits up to start the loop. The first time I hiked this was on Tuesday afternoon with my wife. We had hiked about half way in taking the upper path and just finished exploring a trail connection from the Woodruff(?) Rd side when my wife started to not feel well. Not knowing for certain how much further we had to go to complete the loop we turned back. Hating to leave the trail unfinished I came back a couple of days later after my Buena Vista hike. This time I followed the lower path, adjacent to the fenced field. The trail is not really well signed and there might be some confusion for hikers taking this CCW direction. The trail splits again (I'm guessing .5 to .6 miles in), one branch starting to climb the bluff and the other staying level following the fence line. Knowing that this hike was suppose to be a short loop, I took the path that started to climb. (Unsure where the other trail headed off to. Might be part of the frisbee golf course; there were quite a few meandering trails because of that). Within several minutes of taking this branch I had arrived at the juncture where my wife and I had turned around. Continued on and finished the loop. Really not much of a hike. But it is easy, convient and shaded.

Spent the 4th in Show Low with some family, needed to expend some child energy before the drive back, etc, this was the second of two hikes (first was [ Mogollon Rim Interpretive Trail #615 ] ). Youngest was exhausted after a mile so she got to ride in the carrier for this one. Boys complained a lot on this one, which meant they were getting tired, all part of the plan. Trail was in good shape, although the multi-use nature of this area (frisbee golf + tent pads) meant there were a lot of spur paths to ignore. Views of the meadow below were okay, not much to see and often blocked by the pines. Cattle grazing near the start and the stone bridge were definite highlights. We spent ten minutes on the way out just playing in the creek, something these Phoenix boys haven't had enough time doing.

Arrived in town a little earlier than expected so needed something to do before Lunch, this trail worked out well.

This is an easy family hike located in the middle of Show Low. The trailhead is located right off South White Mountain Rd. It starts off next to a pasture that at night sometimes you can see a herd of elk grazing on it. There are some wild flowers still in bloom.
