2. Schultz Creek Trail (7 miles): Park in the dirt pullout off Schultz Pass Road, just past the last private home on the right. Follow the Schultz Creek Trail north as it parallels the dirt road. When the trail intersects with a forest service road on the right, turn around and return to the start.
3. Sinclair Wash (4.5 miles): From the Wal-Mart off Beulah Boulevard, follow the trail along West McConnell Drive. Pass Northern Arizona University, and then follow the trail as it heads north and crosses South Lone Tree Road past South Brannen Circle.
