This is Maxwell Trail, Coconino National Forest Trail #37. It is located southwest of the Happy Jack Cabin approximately 20-30 minutes. For more information see the Coconino National Forest page at this location, www.fs.fed.us/r3/coconino/recreation/mog_rim/maxell-tr.shtml (You may need to copy and paste this link) The trail starts at the end of FR 81E, it's approximately 0.7 miles long and is a steep strenuous hike, coming out, you'll climb approximately 700 ft in 0.6 miles. The trail includes switchbacks to the edge of the rim as it decends into the canyon. At the top of the rim the vegetation consists of species of ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and gambel oak. As you decend into the canyon the views are great up and down the canyon. As the trail nears the end at the bottom of the canyon, the vegetation is representative of a riparian community including red-osier dogwood, ash, willow, wild rose, canyon grape, box elder and poison ivy. The trail ends at West Clear Creek, with pools of water holding several species of fish.
