Sightseeing

The water wheel is a beautiful hike surrounded by boulders with a running stream year-round. For those in shape, a hike up to the waterfalls is a must see. The truly daring like to jump from the boulders into the cold mountain pools below. Not me! Care should be taken during monsoon season To avoid flash flood

Twenty minutes drive to Pine. Great pizza in an outdoor space. We watched a bull elk herd his cows across the street for 2 hours one evening while we ate and drank! It was awesome.

Historic Character

Come see a replica of Zane Grey’s home and learn how he lived his life on the Mogollon rim.
Gorgeous area and amazing photos— with significant hiking and exercise potential. Must be able to climb stairs and it is a long walk down to the bridge platform, but well worth it. Wear good, non-slip footwear, as rocks are often wet and can get slippery. Bring lots of water and pack in a picnic. Great family place, but not so good for the littler ones.
