# Beaver Creek Campground: Easy access to this campground from I-17 near Camp Verde. Excellent area for fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Within hiking distance of the V-Bar-V Heritage Site, the largest known site of petroglyphs in the Verde Valley. photos | # [https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/coconino/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=55228&actid=29 Beaver Creek Campground] / [[Coconino National Forest]]: Easy access to this campground from I-17 near Camp Verde.

# South Mountain Regional Park: With easy access from Phoenix, this is the country's largest municipal park. Plenty of hiking trails to choose from. Our favorite is the Hidden Valley trail. Recommended for winter months. | # South Mountain Regional Park: With easy access from Phoenix, this is the country's largest municipal park. Plenty of hiking trails to choose from.

# Superstition Wilderness: We have only just begun exploring this area of 200+ miles of hiking trails. Our favorite trails so far have been the Dutchman's Trail and the Peralta Trail. This is a rugged wilderness area - plan accordingly. If you're looking for a good group campsite in the area, check out Lost Dutchman State Park. | # Superstition Wilderness: We have only just begun exploring this area of 200+ miles of hiking trails.
