Rock Creek
Rock Creek Trail leads into the Mazatzal Wilderness from its starting point West of the town of Rye. It's a steep unforgiving route that is not suitable for horse travel but is an access route up to the Arizona National Scenic Trail. This trail is maintained in large part by volunteers of the Arizona Trail Association. It's rugged and remote so users should be comfortable in a back country setting and be self-reliant in wilderness primitive settings.
