Summary: A hike folowing a streambed along Schnebly Hill Road
Challenge Level: Moderate
Hiking Distance: About 2 1/4 miles each way, 5 miles round trip
Trailhead Directions: From the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive south on SR 179for about 1/4 mile. Just as you cross the Oak Creek Bridge, turn left on to Schnebly Hill Road. Drive on the paved Schnebly Hill Road for 1 mile and turn left in to the parking area located at GPS coordinates: 34° 52.025' N; 111° 44.946' W. The trailhead parking is shared with the Huckaby Trail.
Description: This hike follows an old wagon trail along Schnebly Hill Road. We have hiked the trail 2.2 miles each way several times. It is much prettier when there is water flowing from snow runoff, which was the case in 2005 (but that wasn't the case for our March 2006 hike). The trail becomes hard towards the end.
