WEST FORK HIKE
Travel up Hwy 89A, into Oak Creek Canyon, for about 10 miles; just a few miles north of popular Junipine Resort, look for a parking lot on the left. (This is a challenging, 6+ mile hike through a riperian wonderland.)
DEVIL'S BRIDGE HIKE
Take Hwy 89A to Dry Creek Road; turn right and head northwest; and after making a turn to the west and starting downhill, look for Forest Road #152. Turn right onto a dirt road heading toward Secret, Bear Sign, and Sterling canyons. Look for a sign on your left and a small parking lot on your right; this is the trailhead for
Devil's Bridge Trail #120. (This is a light hike that takes approximately less than 2 hours.)
FAY CANYON ARCH HIKE
Take Dry Creek Road and follow signs leading to Boynton Canyon. When you come to an intersection with a dirt road, go left and continue to a parking area on the right-hand side, about a half-mile down. This trail features gigantic boulders along the way.
Remember...safety first!

A peculiar sight to behold, especially from a distance upon first glance: The Devil's Kitchen Sinkhole along the Soldier's Pass Trail. The photo does not do this feature justice! The width and depth of the Devils Kitchen is amazing, and at the top, a full size tree peeks out, giving an idea of the scale. Hikers are warned not to get too close to the edge...
