Spring Wildflowers

For information about where to find wildflowers in the state, you can check out this recent article in the Arizona Republic.
In this article they mention going to the Picketpost Trailhead to see flowers. Here are instructions on how to get to that trailhead:

• Turn south on Forest road (FR) 231 from Highway 60 approximately 0.4 miles east of milepost #221, which is 5 miles west of Superior and 1.7 miles west of Boyce Thompson State Park.
• Progress 0.2 miles past a corral and windmill until you reach a “T” intersection.
• You will see directional sign for the trailhead at this location. Turn left (east) onto an old asphalt road and continue approximately 0.6 miles to the trailhead.

Here is a list of other Arizona Trail locations that may have flowers:

• Boulders Segment of Tortilla Mountains Passage

• Alamo Canyon Passage

• Colossal Cave in Rincon Valley Passage

• Whitford Canyon in Reavis Canyon Passage
