About this place
Mogollon Rim via Washington Park is an awesome little gem of a hike located just about 2 hours north of Phoenix, AZ. Whether you want to do a day hike or a multi-day backpacking trip, this is a great trail to do it on!
This trail begins at the Washington Park Trailhead which meets up with passage #27 of the AZT. You begin traveling northbound as you ascend the great Mogollon Rim. The trail takes you through a gorgeous forest and rewards you with an awesome cliff side view at the summit. 2.25 miles into the trail, it intersects forest service road 300...here you can choose to turn around, continue traveling north on the AZT or take the 300 rd.
We've chosen to wander 2 miles East down the 300 road. Along this road there are many perfect camping spots with an incredible view. Although the 300 road is closed during the winter season to motor vehicles, it made our backpacking all the more enjoyable....peace and quiet! We set up camp for two nights and enjoyed some pretty spectacular sunsets!! This is my absolute favorite place to camp in Arizona.
