Jug Trail #61
This route was an old jeep road. It winds along the ridges south of Salome Mountain steadily descending towards Salome creek where it dead-ends. The southern boundary of the Wilderness is adjacent to this trail.
While the hiking trail is only of moderate difficulty, the navigation of Salome Creek requires technical canyoneering skills. Hiking of the creek downstream to where the trail meets the creek is discouraged unless you have good canyoneering skills.
From Claypool (between Miami and Globe), take State Highway 88 northwest for approximately 15 miles to its junction with State Highway 288. Turn right onto Highway 288 and drive north for approximately 13 miles to the A Cross Road (Forest Road 60). Take Road 60 west for 17 miles. This trailhead is on the north side of and adjacent to Road 60. This road is suitable for sedans, except during foul weather.
