Recreation: Mogollon Rim
The Mogollon Rim
is a rugged escarpment that forms the southern limit of the Colorado Plateau. It extends
across the entire forest and provides excellent views within Plateau Country and Desert
Canyon Country as well. Dropping as much as 2,000 feet in some areas, the Rim provides
some of the most far-reaching scenery in Arizona. Views stretch from its rocky precipice
to Four Peaks of the Mazatzals northeast of Phoenix.
Needless to say,
sightseeing is a favorite activity along the Rim, but this forest area also boasts a
historic system of hiking and horseback trails, a couple of picturesque lakes for boating
and fishing, and backcountry skiing for wilderness adventurers.
