Things To Do
Fossil Creek Natural Springs
Fossil Creek, one of two “Wild and Scenic” rivers in Arizona, seems to appear out of nowhere, gushing 20,000 gallons a minute out of a series of springs fed by the cliffs of the Mogollon Rim. Over 30 million gallons of water are discharged each day at a constant 70 °F. Many plants and wildlife depend on Fossil Creek for habitat, including otters, beavers, leopard frogs, and common black hawks. While you’re here, keep an eye out for javelina and deer. Both are abundant in the area. *Permits required

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.
Verde Hot Springs
Hike along the Verde River to a natural hot springs. Two pools of water built on the side of a mountain which used to be a resort years ago. The outside pool is about 95 degrees and the pool inside the rock hut is well over 100 degrees.
Tonto Natural Bridge State Park
Tonto Natural Bridge is a natural arch in Arizona, USA, that is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. The area surrounding the bridge has been made into a state park called Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, which is located off State Route 87, just 10 miles north of Payson.
Bear Canyon Lake
A fisherman’s favorite. The 60-acre lake holds rainbows, brookies, cutthroat, and arctic grayling. A steep trail limits access to the hardy, just right for keeping the crowds down. The contrast between the blue water and green pines is absolutely stunning.
Montezuma Castle National Monument
Montezuma Castle National Monument protects a set of well-preserved dwellings located in Camp Verde, Arizona which were built and used by the Sinagua people, a pre-Columbian culture closely related to the Hohokam and other indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States, between approximately 1100 and 1425 AD.
Fort Verde Historic Park
Nestled in the town of Camp Verde, Fort Verde Historic Park commemorates the military history of the settlement of the Verde Valley. Fort Verde was an active military post during the 1870-1880 Indian Wars. Four original buildings remain.
