Lockett Meadow Road Dispersed — Coconino NF

This dispersed clearing in Coconino National Forest sits along Lockett Meadow Road (FS 552), a dirt connector between US-89 and US-180 on the northeast flank of the San Francisco Peaks — with a fire ring, open breezes, and sight lines toward Sunset Crater. Because the road carries steady through-traffic, dust from passing vehicles is a genuine factor, especially on weekends and fall weekends when leaf-peeper traffic picks up. The spot serves well as an overnight base for the Inner Basin Trail, and the approach is easy on passenger-height rigs.
