This hike is super easy access, it starts at the Payson Rodeo Grounds. the trail starts at the end of Green Valley Parkway. It takes general path thru a thinned scrub oat area with a gentle climb to a saddle. From here it goes southwest and descends down a rather rocky road, passing an old miners building along the way. At the bottom the road the trail turns to the north west and follows a FR to the a shady spot along a dry creek. From here it takes an ATV trail North and hooks up with another Forest road. Shortly after crossing a cattle guard, there is a road/trail off to the west and up a steep hill, this is Peach loop. After climbing to almost the top of the hill, the trail turns North for a bit, then back east,and hooks back up to Peach Orchard trail. Great views of the Mazatzal mountains and city views from Peach Loop. This trail is easy walking.
