We drove through here on our way to Sedona. It was absolutely breathtaking and didn't cost anything to drive through. There were several campsites and scenic mountain and water views along the way. We wish we could have stopped to enjoy it longer! More

We camped for free for 3 days in the forest across from Sunset Crater. Just pull into an area where someone has camped before. There are jerks that litter, but I figure cleaning up a bit was my payment. Wonderful Ponderosa pines with squirrels and deer in the area. More

OK, I’m not sure how you review a 1.8 million acre forest except to say it has a lot to offer.

This is a beautiful forest, filled with huge ponderosa pines,... More

loved being in the tall pines, the views from halfway up the Humphreys trail, and the fact that there was snow on the ground. However, the snow did obscure the trail, and made hiking really difficult. Were we better prepared, then this would have been a perfect hike. More
