I went on a trip here in late monsoon season, and the yellow flowers on the rolling hills was the prettiest landscape I've ever seen. The weather that day was perfect. 

Of course, it was monsoon season so I got hit by a sudden torrential rain and hailstorm with thunder that sounded like like bombs were being dropped. So be sure to check the forecast, and set up camp as soon as possible if you see clouds forming. 

Also, I'm used to camping in Payson, and the biodiversity here was INSANE in comparison. Tons of wildlife. I unknowingly sat down 10ft away from a doe while taking a break on the trail up the mountain. There are predators so beware if you're taking the roads less traveled, I saw a lot of many signs of what I believe was a cougar. 

It was the best and most adventurous trip I've done so far

Been here a few times. First time was for Elk hunting. Second just for relaxing. Talk about a clear starry night. It is very peaceful at night. All camping is dispersed camping. Tons of area for big trailers or tents. Pretty much the only negative is Razors ripping up and down the road all day.
Great opportunity also to see deer,elk and javelina. 4-2-2021

We love this area for dispersed camping. Easy access from I-17, beautiful views, wildlife, nice weather!
