Arizona Trailblazers Hiking Club
Copper Canyon Day Hike
when Trip Report : October 20, 2013
where Camp Verde
the hike     Head up Copper Canyon as far as we can take the vehicles. If we have enough people we will try as a car shuttle leaving one car at MP278. We will try to find and follow Tomkins Trail #513 as shown on National Geographic map #854 (Blue T1-T6). Then take forest roads to connect with MP278.
    Option 2: We could stay in the canyon and follow FR136 to MP 278 (Red N10-N12, Green C6-N10).
    Option 3: If cool enough we may try to make a loop. Specify your wish.
