Tucked into coniferous woodlands at the edge of the Mogollon Rim a few miles east of Fossil Springs Wilderness and north of the prominent rock jetty of Milk Ranch Point, numerous drainages spill south percolating through the rim’s vertical walls to contribute to important watersheds that eventually flow into the Verde and Salt rivers.
Among these scoured channels is Corduroy Wash, which cuts shallow ravines in the forested space between State Route 260 and Forest Road 149 in Coconino National Forest.
This quiet drainage area may be explored by walking FR 9385. The road also is part of the General Crook Trail that was built in the 1870s and stretched between Fort Whipple and Fort Apache.
