Overview

Located just outside Flagstaff in the Coconino National Forest, FR 518 provides easy access to fantastic camping and scenic forest trails. Travelers en route to the Grand Canyon or just passing through on I-40 or the old Route 66 will appreciate the peaceful campsites afforded by this well-maintained forest road. The sound of the wind in the tall Ponderosa Pines will quickly erase the stress of a day on the road. Listen carefully, and you might hear a bull elk bugling from somewhere deep in the forest. While Flagstaff is only a few minutes away, you'll feel like you are a million miles from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether spending one night or staying for the 14-day camping limit, this trail is a great place to unwind.
