The Christopher Creek Box


Sometimes places are remembered best in black and white. Some of my earliest memories of camping and hiking are at the R-C Scout Ranch below the Mogollon Rim in central Arizona. The Christopher Creek Box starts just below the boundary of the Scout Ranch in the National Forest. Although it appears to be wild and inaccessible it is only a short hike from a paved highway. Typical of most of Arizona's really nice places, they are off the road just enough to make them difficult to find and to hike to. In the summer, the Box is neither difficult to find nor very difficult to hike to and is usually crowded with swimmers and cliff jumpers.
