The gate isn’t closed
After you see the entrance, there will be a gate. It’s not closed!! Continue through :)
Close to horseshoe and antelope
Check this map while driving to go off road. It fluctuates between Utah and Arizona.
Close but bumpy
Be prepared to have a bumpy ride. But worth the view and solitaire
Right below flagstaff
Great spots in between flagstaff and Sedona. Literally 10 minutes from flagstaff. Campfire pits. If you’re coming from flagstaff, there’s a left turn lane to take you into the area
Great access to hiking
Dispersed hiking spots at the bottom of the lower basin trail (where you have to pay at the top). Easy access from road. You can hear the highway, but it’s still quiet. Fireplaces and ample space
