In so doing, it follows another feature of interest, the General Crook Trail which the famous Indian fighter blazed to his stronghold at Fort Apache. When you're not on the rim, you'll still find much to see along this drive, as it winds through a forest well populated with wildlife and gives you a taste of canyon country in scenic East Clear Creek and Barbershop canyons. The scenic drive starts here. Head 9 miles north on AZ 87 to FR 95. All Forest Roads are gravelled and suitable for sedans.
Forest Roads are closed in winter.
