A place to sleep for the night

Trying to find a place near sycamore falls so we can hike that in the morning. Found a little fire ring right off of the side of the road. The road has traffic so not excluded at all.

Not bad

Hot in summer, not as good as driving just 20 more minutes to Flagstaff to park/in the pines, but not bad for a few days/nights. Quiet, BLM, 14 day stay.
