one of the most underrated fall hikes in arizona 🍂 one of the most underrated fall hikes in arizona 🍂🥾

see spring trail is a short, peaceful hike beneath the mogollon rim that blows up with fall colors! i only knew about it myself 2 years ago! details:

📍 see spring trail #185
🥾 about 2-2.5 miles round trip
🌲 shaded forest trail
💧 natural spring and creek views 
🐕 dog-friendly, but keep dogs leashed
🍁 fall colors typically peak from late october into early november depending on the year

make a full day of it by grabbing coffee at common grounds or noley’s in payson ☕️, driving along the mogollon rim, stopping at woods canyon lake, or you can also stop in christopher creek for lunch before heading home 🌲

save this one for an easy arizona fall day trip from phoenix 🍁
