This demanding journey covers 22.8 miles (36.7 km) and involves a significant elevation gain of 3561 feet (1085 metres). You can expect to spend around 10 hours and 32 minutes traversing diverse landscapes, from lower elevation juniper and oak to higher altitude pines and firs, all while enjoying spectacular vistas of the Mogollon Rim.
Planning your hike on this passage is made easier by numerous access points and evenly spaced trailheads, allowing for flexibility in trip length. While no specific permits or fees are mentioned, it is always wise to check local regulations before you head out. Consider starting early to make the most of the daylight for this long and challenging route.
This passage is notable for its dramatic ecological transition, marked by the impressive Mogollon Rim escarpment.
