FS 483

FS 483 begins off Gateway to Seven Springs Road (FS 24). A small parking area is located at the start of the trail. This gravel road winds through a wash before transitioning into a popular scenic gravel route. Along the way, you’ll be treated to views of the surrounding hills, tall desert vegetation, and the remains of an old bridge or water diversion structure. The road eventually ends at a private property gate. There is no clear indication on the map that the road transitions to private property at this point, so be prepared to turn around at the gate. This area is part of the Tonto National Forest, and a permit is required, which can be obtained through Recreation.gov.
