SPRINGS TRAIL # 633
Pinetop-Lakeside



Tricking creeks, manic wildflowers and herds of bellowing bovines wandering among errant blue herons distinguish this high country hike from your standard walk in the park. Short in length and easy on the feet, the trail loops through wildlife-friendly pine groves, dewy cienegas and sun washed pastures. Two creeks contribute to the area’s lush plant and animal life---Billy Creek feeds a swath of swaying grasses while Thompson Creek spawns a ridiculously green and moist riparian corridor.
LENGTH: 3.8-mile loop
ELEVATION: 7,140’ – 7,190’
RATING: easy
DOG RATING: excellent
KID FRIENDLY: yes
DISTANCE FROM PHOENIX: 180 miles 1-way
GETTING THERE:
From Show Low, go southeast on SR 260 (toward McNary) to Bucksprings Road (located 2 miles before the Hon-Dah Casino).
Turn left at the stoplight and continue 0.6 mile to Sky-Hi Road (FR182), turn left and go 1.1 miles to the trailhead on the left.
