The
Mt. Trumbull trail quickly ascends the south slope of this
basalt - capped mesa. From the southern rim of the basalt
cap, the trail ends and final mile to the summit on the north
edge of the mesa is trail less. Once atop the mesa the route
to the summit passes through a beautiful forest of ponderosa
pine. At the northern edge of the mesa, broad sweeping views
of the heart of the Arizona Strip, as well as much of southern
Utah, await the persistent hiker.
Mr Trumbull is
accessed by leaving St. George, Utah via Quail Hill road from
Arizona 389, near Pipe springs, via the Mt. Trumbull Road
to reach Mt. Trumbull. Distance is 60 - 70 miles from St.
George or 50 miles from Colorado City on Arizona State Highway
389.
