Hiking General Crook Trail: V39-V43

Hiking the second half of the 6th segment of the General Crook Trail from the Kehl Spring Campground (V39) to General Springs Cabin (V43). Though only marked by the Boy Scouts at four miles, it is actually a six mile hike. This segment has fabulous views of the Mogollon Rim!

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.
