East Fork Gila River

This trailhead provides parking access to Gila River Trail #724, a scenic river walk featuring impressive rock formations along the East Fork Gila River.

Ample parking is available for overnight stays (dawn to dusk occupancy), with restrooms on-site, though potable water is not available; horses and pack animals are permitted.

The trail can be challenging to follow during summer months when vegetation grows tall and obscures cairns and tread, particularly where it crosses the river.
