Before starting, one must be prepared and follow safety
precautions. Always take plenty of water and wear a wide brim
hat and sunscreen. Hiking boots or all terrain walking shoes with
good traction are necessary. Take a backpack with a map, toilet
paper, plastic bag, knife, food, flashlight and first aid kit. Always
get a weather report. Trails can be dangerous when wet, reducing
footing and increasing the chances of injury. All trails traverse
dried creek beds which can become rapidly swollen during rainstorms. *** Click on Pictures to Enlarge ***

There are many other fine trails to take. However,
some of the best have trailheads which can only be reached (as of January
2012) by dirt roads which require vehicles with a high clearance and
preferably four- wheel drive. These access roads include:
FR
152 leading to Vultee Arch Trail and Secret Canyon Trail.
Schnebly Hill Road leading to Munds Mountain Trail,
Munds Wagon Trail and Schnebly Hill Vista.
