Passage #17 - Alamo Canyon
This passage is being re-routed.
Length: 12.2 miles
Southern Trailhead: Tonto National Forest Boundary
Northern Trailhead: Picketpost Trailhead - FR 231
Trail Route Description: This passage begins at a point west of
the White Canyon Wilderness on the Tonto National Forest boundary about
0.6 miles due east of Ajax Peak. From here the trail heads west and north
for about 1.5 miles, eventually dropping into a two-track road and drainage.
Follow the drainage north for a very short distance until it turns left/west
and continue to follow this rocky two-track for another 1.5 miles to the
junction of Telegraph Wash. At this point there is new signage installed.
Exit the two-track and follow the signage, which veers off to the right for
about 0.1 miles in the wash; then exit the drainage to the right at a newly
constructed cairn and carsonite. See the map on the right for an overview of the recommended route (click on it for a larger version).
