FS 139 Cottonwood Wash

Trail Overview

This trail starts at Arizona Highway 260. There is a parking area and staging spot at the turnoff. This trail meanders toward the Mogollon Rim. The area was ravaged by the Rodeo-Chediski Fire in 2002 which burned 410,000 acres. It was the largest fire in Arizona until it was surpassed in 2011. The forest is recovering and home to many animals including magnificent wild horses.

Difficulty

The trail is easy but there are washes to cross and ruts for shoulders.
