Highly recommend this! It is the second largest canyon in AZ, about 25 miles from the cabin. Beautiful views, deep canyons, streams and waterfalls at the vista point (when water is running). At Parks exit, go across I-40 and follow Garland Prairie Rd towards White Horse Lake. Turn onto FS 109; the trailhead is just before reaching White Horse Lake.
