Trail ride on the Rim

Details

A fairly easy trail ride on top of the Mogollon Rim.
Should be 25 - 30 degrees cooler than Phoenix.

Time: arrive at the rimtop trailhead between 945 - 10am
plan to roll about 10:15 am

Level: advanced beginner

Distance: 12 - 15 miles

Bring at least 1.5 L or 2 qts to drink on the ride
also bring a snack for the snack break like a clif bar or similar.
You could also bring a sandwich for after the ride.

Directions: You can type rimtop trailhead (or rim top trailhead) using Google Maps and it comes up. ( It's listed as Payson AZ, but i don't think Payson extends this far, but that's how it comes up on Google Maps.)
Or you can follow these directions if you dont have Google Maps: from the south you can take 87 up to Payson,
then take 260 east for about 30 min to the top of the rim which is about mile marker 282 or so. As soon as you level off and get to the top, look for the left turn to Woods Canyon Lake (fr300). make the turn and drive just a short way (it may be the first right?) and on the right you should see the rimtop trailhead parking lot. Park there. I'll have an older toyota 4runner goldish color.
