Bargaman Park

Located in the expansive and beautiful Coconino National Forest, Bargaman Park is a small jewel. The trail packs a lot into its five miles and connects with FR 109 and Mahan Ranch. Traversing a forest of stately Ponderosa pines, the easy trail passes the edge of its namesake, the beautiful Bargaman Park meadow. This open grassy plain is prime grazing for the free-range cattle that spend their summers here. But don't be surprised to see elk and pronghorn along the edges of the meadow, either. They will mostly be out in the early mornings or late afternoons. Wildflowers dot the park as well. Emerging in Spring, they last almost all Summer. Whether camping at any of the numerous dispersed sites along the trail or just taking a sightseeing drive, Bargaman Park is a gem of a trail.
