Country Club Trail #632
Arizona's
White Mountains
Attractions and Considerations: Country Club is a moderate to easy trail just a short distance from Pinetop-Lakeside. The trail loops three and 1/2 miles through ponderosa pine, juniper, and oak woodland. The half-mile spur trail to the top of Pat Mullen mountain is well worth the extra time and effort, even if you are pedaling a bike. Take the time to notice the views of the surrounding forest, the very old and impressive examples of alligator juniper, and the signs of past forest fires. Let them be a reminder to us to be extremely cautious with fire in the forest. Notice the 1-mile Iron Horse connector trail between Country Club and The Springs, and the Los Burros/Country Club Connector Trail. Access and trailhead location: From Lakeside Ranger Station
drive south on AZ 260 towards McNary. Turn left on Bucksprings Road. Drive 0.6
miles. Turn lerft on FR 182 (road to Sky Hi Retreat). Drive 2 miles. You will
pass the Springs Trailhead on the left. Where FR 182 veers to the left, proceed
straight on to FR 185 (past Sierra Springs Ranch entrance). Trailhead is on the
right 100 yards down FR 185.
