FR 513B

Situated in the eastern portion of the vast Coconino National Forest, FR 513B rides along the western ridgeline above the deep chasm cut by East Clear Creek. The 2018 Tinder Fire has opened the forest up to provide some impressive views across the wide canyon. Besides the views, FR 513B has some fantastic campsites outside the burned area. Since roadside camping is not allowed on East Clear Creek past its intersection with FR 513B, the numerous campsites just up the trail from the intersection are very popular. Deer, elk, and turkey are often nearby. They might be shy, but every so often the lucky get a glimpse of them sliding through the deep Ponderosa pine forest.
