Overview

FR301 is a dirt road trail that will take you under an hour out and back, and it starts right at the city limits of Flagstaff! This is great for a quick family outing or to get in a hike when you're on the east side of Flagstaff. The mudding is good after a soaking rain or when the snow is melting (avoid this trail in-stock vehicles when it's wet!). At the end of the guide's trail you'll find parking and a USFS trailhead for a nice half-mile hike to Fisher Point with epic views of Walnut Canyon. FR301 is a more interesting drive and a quicker hike to the canyon than the Arizona Trail trailhead, located a mile east down Old Walnut Canyon Road. You are likely to see Elk along FR301 or FR301D during their migration season, especially in late fall and early winter. This area is heavily affected by bark beetles; you can hear them work on the trees in the summer if you are quiet.
