Office Flagstaff Gregory Green Bear Table Mesa

Hike 5 miles in, and 3,500 ft up to Arizona's highest point. Then take a break and hike back. :) This trail is not very technical, but is slightly strenuous. You will need too be in decent shape, and you may have issues with the altitude, especially if you are visiting from phoenix. If you can keep trudging, you will make it to the top.
