4. Young to Winona
YOUNG TO WINONA – 135 miles
The saguaro cactus and dry deserts make way to ponderosa pine, towering cliffs and dramatic canyons in Section 4. You get a sense for this change almost immediately as the road climbs onto the Mogollon Rim, an escarpment that marks the edge of Colorado Plateau. You can expect a reasonable amount of weekend camping traffic early in this section but expect to see fewer people the further north you go. The route meanders north through one of the largest pine forests in the world, with ample camping opportunities.
Fuel and supplies are available in nearby Clints Well. The terrain near Long Lake and Kinnikinick Lake can be quite rocky, with one optional Harder section and incredible views of the San Francisco Peaks in the distance.
