Wet Bottom

A little used but scenic trail located within the Mazatzal Wilderness. This trail climbs up away from the Verde River at its starting junction with the Verde trail #11 and connects to Bull Spring trail # 34 to the NE. The route is rugged and difficult to locate in numerous sections due to past fire activity and its many drainage crossings. Users should be skilled at land navigation and back country travel.
