Hiking General Crook Trail: V71-V80

Mountain biking the 10th segment of the General Crook Trail from Rim Top Trailhead (V71), in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, to the "far east side" of the hamlet of Forest Lakes (V80).

In 1871, General George Crook surveyed a supply road west from Fort Apache, Arizona, across the Mogollon Rim to Camp Verde, then on to Fort Whipple in Prescott. The General Crook Road was built in 1872. The Army used the road until 1896, and civilians until 1928, when Rim Road replaced it.

P markers represent miles west of Camp Verde. V markers represent miles east of Camp Verde.
