You dont have to go all the way to Flagstaff to see the color change in the fall

Beautiful hike, chance to see some snow in the winter, the trail crosses the creek, prepare accordingly

It was absolutely wonderful there! Peaceful, cool and clean. Kudos to the public using it and packing their trash out.

This trail never disappoints. Even in August it was green and beautiful! Dog and kid friendly, yet if youre feeling it, you can really get a good workout! Bring a little lunch, shut off your phone and just be for a while

Amazing hike with amazing views. There were a lot of fallen trees. The trail was lost for a bit due to it not being marked after the 3rd creek crossing. Still, beautiful.

People need to quit leaving trash. I picked up a bag of trash along this beautiful trout stream. Humans are slobs out there.

Beautiful autumn views & a nice easy-moderate hike. Lots of wildlife out & about, it was nice that hardly anyone was at this spot... hopefully itll stay this way!

Cool retreat from the heat. The beauty of nature surrounds you. Gurgling stream, forest fragrances, butterflies and birds, amazing flowers. Enough said.

Beautiful views. No wild life though. Something has the creatures spooked in the first 4.0 miles

Went to Christopher Creek and this trail two days to hike. I really enjoyed the trail and all the beginning of the falls colors. It was kinda cold so I wished I bought a warmer coat. But that being said it was peaceful and quiet like I had the whole forest and trail to myself. I took a whole lot of fall pictures on this trail. The way to this trail is mostly dirt road except for the road from Christopher Creek lead to this dirt road. So I recommended you be careful after it has rained because there will be lots of mud and lots of holes on the dirt road. I recommend this trail to anybody who enjoys nature and like to take pictures of nature. It was one of the best I been for fall colors and to take fall pictures.

Its a long, hard, uphill hike. But it is totally worth it for the waterfall at the end!

Hike back about a mile, and youll have a very nice babbling brook shady spot to just chill or have lunch.

Moderate trail and short so its an easy do. The spring is small but nice and cold. Nice to get 1500 year old water. Many spots to sit.

Absolutely scenic and BEAUTIFUL hike. Lots of greenery, birds chirping, stream babbling, and trails well marked. Difficult to get to trailhead though, roughly a one mile, very bumpy, narrow dirt road to get there off of highway. It is so narrow in some points only one car can pass, worth the hassle though. There is cell service in this area, which is good.

This spot is great for riding (ATVs, dirtbikes, etc...) or hiking. The views are so picturesque and air so clean. I didnt see any wildlife which seemed a little strange because the conditions were so perfect for it. Also, it was never crowded with people. Occasionally you will see a couple or a family enjoying this location too, but for the most part you feel like you and your company are the only explorers ;).
