Forest Road 433

This trail is accessed as an Eastbound Spur from the aforementioned PATS Houston Loop. Beginning in Mayfield Canyon (Star Valley, AZ), it bounces merrily along under the the shady canopy of the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the World. 12 miles out and back over some challenging climbs and returning descents make this beauty of a ride an intermediate to difficult task. Once at trail’s end, feel free to ascend to the the top of Diamond Point and search for crystals that abound. Locals call them “Payson diamonds”. If hungry and parched, the Double D restaurant, bar, and general store can cure all those desires also. Round trip should take 2 ½ to 4 hours total.
