Petrified Forest National Parks:

Off I 40 east of Holbrook

More than 200 million years ago, flourishing trees and vegetation covered

 much of this area of Northeastern Arizona. But volcanic lava destroyed the

 forest, and the remains were embedded into sediment comprised of

 volcanic ash and water. Erosion set the logs free millions of years later,

 revealing the petrified wood – made mostly of quartz – that Arizona

visitors gather to see.

Also see the astounding rainbow of hues of the desert and rocky badlands

 at The Painted Desert at the North entrance of the park and then check

 out Puerco Pueblo and nearly 800 year old 100 room dwelling at the

 park along with remnants of more than 13,000 years of human history

  and an unforgettable encounter with Arizona nature.

White Water Rafting:

 Allowed below Salt River Canyon Reservation Permit Required

Info from Wmatoutdoors.org:

http://wmatoutdoors.org/newwhite water rr.shtm

 Running rivers in the Alpine district is a matter of opportunity.

 Even the largest streams on the district are small, and unless they

are swollen well beyond their banks with a raging flood, they are

 suited only for small rafts, kayaks, or one- or two-person inflatables

. The two district streams that do flow at levels large enough to float a boat,

 on a seasonal basis, are the Black River on the west side of the district

 and the Blue River at the bottom of Blue River Canyon. You've no doubt

already made the connection—Black and Blue—but actually these rivers are

 more likely to leave you smiling than bruised. That is, if you have the expertise

 to run them, and if you like doing something that not a whole lot of other people have done.

Think Snow
About the only time you can be reasonably sure of having adequate

 water for boating these two streams is during the spring snow melt.

March and April are the best bets, although the season almost

 never lasts for that entire time period. Both streams, especially the Blue,

 sometimes reach boatable levels during the summer monsoons,

 but the problem with this highly unpredictable event is that,

even if you do happen to be in the right place at the right time, the streams

are usually too high to run until they're too low. In other words, they come up

 very fast and they also go back down very fast.

Whitewater A to Z
With all that in mind, if you choose to come in the spring,

 and if it's been a good year for snow, you could very well be rewarded

 with a unique and enjoyable boating experience. Both streams are

very picturesque in quite difference ways, and both offer their own

unique challenges to the whitewater boater. You shouldn't sell either of

them short. They are bona fide whitewater streams and deserve all the

 respect that comes with the title. Bring sturdy equipment and the skills

 necessary for negotiating free-flowing streams. You'll see the whole gamut

 of whitewater challenges here, including tight passages, frothy drops,

strainers, hydraulics, barbed wire, and undercuts. If you don't recognize

chose names, the Alpine District may not be the place for a first lesson.

 Rapids on these runs range all the way to Class IV and V. In some cases

 portages are the only wise course. The Black River is by far the more

 technical of the two, although the Blue River has some challenging spots as well.

Black River Features:

Very remote mountain stream
Facilities: Three campgrounds nearby; bodacious rapids;

watchable wildlife, especially bighorn sheep.
Season: March or April (during snowmelt   

 

 

 

Wilderness Exploration:

Disappear into the Blue


The Blue Range Primitive Area remains one of Arizona's untouched

 and little known jewels. This is a land of rugged mountains, steep canyons

, and stark ridges that is at the same time remote and accessible through

 an extensive trail system. The Mogollon Rim, made famous as the

"Tonto Rim" in Zane Grey's books, crosses the area from west to east.

This rim, unique both from geological and ecological standpoints, is further

 enhanced by the spectacular Blue River Canyon and river. There is spruce

 and fir in the high country, and ponderosa pine, pinyon, and juniper in

lower areas. Deer, elk, and other big and small game find food and

shelter in the primitive area's more remote reaches. Trail access is fairly

 good, but prospective visitors are reminded that this is big, rough, generally

dry country

The 7000-acre Mt. Baldy Wilderness

is located on the Springerville Ranger District

. It is a popular area and small in size so limits have been placed

 on the size of groups using the area. Hiking and riding groups

 should not exceed 12 persons and the maximum number in a group

for overnight camping is six. A permit is not required to enter the

wilderness. The summit of the mountain is on the Fort Apache

 Indian Reservation and this area should not be entered without

first contacting the tribal headquarters in Whiteriver.

Wilderness-type experiences can also be found in the

Blue Range Primitive Area

. It is approximately 30 times larger than the Mt. Baldy Wilderness

 but receives light use. Large areas of rugged country are found

with numerous trails offering access.

The Escudilla Wilderness on the Alpine Ranger District

 was designated in 1984 and contains 5,200 acres.

It lies atop Arizona's third highest peak. Escudilla Mountain and its

10,912-foot elevation provides marvelous vistas.

 It is home to several pristine high elevation meadows,

which are comprised of relatively rare plant associations

. Notable landmarks in or just outside the wilderness include

 Profanity Ridge, Terry Flat, Toolbox Draw, and the Punchbowl.

A trail takes visitors to Escudilla Lookout

where they can absorb vistas many miles distant.

Because of the relative scarcity of water and small size

 of this wilderness, day use is encouraged.

The newly established Bear Wallow Wilderness

 on the Alpine Ranger District boasts some of the largest acreage

 of virgin ponderosa pine in the Southwest. Only a few trails provide

 access into and within this area and only limited grazing

of domestic livestock in the west half has kept this area unspoiled.

Beautiful Bear Wallow Creek flows throughout the year providing

suitable habitat for the endangered Apache trout. Wildlife

is abundant throughout the area. A majestic view

from atop the Mogollon Rim is available to the hike

r from intermediate and beginner trails.

 

Wild Horse Viewing: See Day Trips information

 

Wildlife viewing:

Wildlife observation has no closed seasons or bag limits. It does not

 require a permit special skill or equipment. All you need is patience

 and a comfortable spot from which to watch. A marsh habitat has

 been developed at Pintail Lake four miles northeast of Show Low

using treated sewage effluent. With interpretive signs and an

Willow Springs Horsetrap Wildlife Habitat Area
This area is closed to motorized vehicle use in order to provide

a "quiet" area for wildlife. Elk and deer are often observed, especially

 in the summer. In October, the leaves of aspen and oak trees change

 to a golden yellow. Trails are located on old logging roads and are

not marked.

 A ride to the edge of Chevelon Canyon

ends in a beautiful view of the canyon. Riding the loop trail

provides a view of Willow Luna Lake
