Hiking General Crook Trail: V16-V27

Hiking the 4th segment of the General Crook Trail from FR 9243D (V16) to FR 9267M (V27), in the Coconino National Forest, via Upper Sawlog Tank #1, Devil's Windpipe, Strawberry Road, Mud Tanks Mesa, Apron Tank, Tin Can Draw, Salmon Lake Butte, Meadow Canyon Tank, Tom's Creek Road and Meadow Tank. I found the Boy Scout V21 marker, placed in 1976.

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

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.
