The Mogollon Rim, Canyon Point Campgroud

Canyon Point Campground on the Mogollon Rim is a favorite of ours.    It is southeast of Flagstaff at 7700 feet elevation with pine and aspen trees and some spectacular views off the rim.     This time of year the aspens glow gold and when the wind blows they quake.    The sites in the cg are huge and very private.    Just electric for hookups but that's all we need for 3 days.     A short drive away is the rim trail that is several miles of paved path along the rim.   Another path goes back into the pines to Woods Canyon Lake.    The path made for a great bike ride although the area along the rim was a bit scary.    I like walking the rim and looking down several thousand feet when I am on 2 legs not 2 wheels.    There are tons of great hikes in the area and a ranger station with good information.   This is a great place to kick back relax, hike, bike, read, and eat at Casa Ramos (great Mexican food nearby).
