Wanting a low key, quiet hike, we drove the short distance and hike Woods Canyon by Oak Creak. This is a pretty mellow hike that heads up the canyon along Beaver Creek. The creek was dry except for the...
Bell Trail to Wet Beaver Creek
We were a little leary because the Bell Trail to Wet Beaver Creek is listed as one of the most popular hikes in the area and I dislike lots of people around when I hike. But, we figured it...
Montezuma’s Castle and Well
Established December 8, 1906, Montezuma Castle is the third National Monument dedicated to preserving Native American culture. We visited on a weekday and it’s a quick trip through the park to view the ruins. Neither part of this monument’s...

Fall is a great time in the White Mountains of Arizona! The Alltrails app helped us narrow down our hiking choices and we decided on this Thompson Trail Hike. The drive from our boondocking spot took us out the...
