Sara's Rating	Part of hike	My thoughts
1	Access to trail	There is limited parking in the lot at the trailhead and some street parking
1	Difficulty	It is pretty flat, you will get wet
1	Views	Pretty area, really liked the abandon house and creek
1	Destination	We didn't make it to our destination, it is a nice trail
1	Time on trial	We were on the trail about 1.5 hours, made it to the 3rd crossing

Note: I think this would have been more fun if we were all willing and ready to get wet!

We went on a Friday afternoon and the parking was full at the trail head. There was some parking on the road, which is kinda scary as it is a two curvy, lane mountain road.

Oak Creek Canyon Scenic Drive, from Sedona to Flagstaff is gorgeous!

The cost to park in the lot is $12 per vehicle and we paid $3 per person since we parked on the street. There are bathrooms at the trail head, which was very nice.

I really enjoyed the first part of the trail with the fruit trees, bridge, abandon house and the gorgeous creek.

All so happy at the start of the hike.

Mayhew Lodge

According the the plaque the first log cabin was built here in the 1870s in Oak Creek Canyon. The remains your see below are from a lodge that attracted politicians and movie stars to the area.
