Contact the Payson Ranger District, US Forest Service for maps and information. The Mogollon Rim angles across the Arizona uplands north and east of Phoenix for more than 200 miles. It marks the edge of the high plateau. The rim runs from near Ash Fork east of Flagstaff to the Blue Range in eastern Arizona and clear into the Mogollon Mountains of New Mexico. For most of its length it is a wall of rock.
Forests line the rim and attract hikers and campers, anglers and hunters.
Monument Valley is now a Navajo Tribal Park. Take the self-guided scenic drive with wonderful views of the buttes, spires and mesas which have made Monument Valley's scenery famous or a jeep tour for a closer look at the backcountry. Jeep tour companies are plentiful and a tour will give you an opportunity to see cliff dwellings, rock art and Navajo homes. Several different tours are available. We had a great time on a Mystery Valley tour which took us to Mystery Valley, Wetherill Mesa, Echo Cave Ruins, cliff dwellings and the House of Hands Cave.
