High-elevation loop through ponderosa forest and open mesa overlooking the San Francisco Peaks. Shoot sweeping landscapes, layered horizons, volcanic outcrops and seasonal wildflowers; dramatic skies during monsoon season and clear-starred nights. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-lighting and long shadows. Trailhead on Forest Service Rd 790; small pullouts for parking, no permit typically required (honor forest rules). Weather can change quickly—bring layers; respect tribal lands and stay on
