The tall trees and mountain stream are a perfect place to get away as a family. My daughters loved playing in the creek searching for creatures, throwing rocks and just being silly. Easy place to get to and feel like we were all by ourselves.
3. Rim Lakes Vista Trail

Reviewed By KatWat39 - Canton, United States
This is a short paved trail with pullouts to see different views of the edge of the Mogollon Rim along the way. It's the best view of the rim that we saw during our visit. You can see great views from the parking lot. Or, walk a few steps down the rocks to take in the entire view. These are steep rocks with drop offs, so use caution at the edge. It is a short drive, so you can take as little or as much time as you want.

5. Rim Lakes Adventures
