After resting at the tunnel, you can conyinue your hike to the top of the rim. There you will will a historical marker that describes the battle of Big Dry Wash where 16 to 27 warriors were killed. If you follow the road 1 mile further north you come to General Springs Cabin which was built in 1918 and used for man years ass a fire guard station.

My family had such a good time at this cabin. They had everything you need it for a fun family getaway, including wood for a fire and Marshmello holders to make s’mores. They also had a list of places to go hiking, and we found a fun little hike and swimming area, the children really enjoyed the treehouse and lookout area

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. We loved the trampoline, tree swing, hammock, and tree house in the yard to make this a unique experience. The cabin is nice and spacious. Check-in/out were very smooth and easy. It was a nice escape from the Phx heat for a few days. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location! Our family enjoyed fishing at the second crossing and waterwheel. The host has thought of everything you could possibly need while staying at the property. My grandson especially enjoyed feeding the blue jays and squirrels peanuts!

We stayed at this cabin over 4th of July week. It was perfect for us and another family to share. The kids loved the sleeping loft and all the activities- darts and ping pong, splashing in the water feature, the treehouse, etc. It was pretty warm that week but the portable ac units for each room made everything comfortable.

Amazing stay with so many things to do there. Cheaper then hotel stay if you add up your party. Very well stocked with supplies. Neighbors were very friendly. Drive slow. It rained during our stay and that was so nice to drink coffee and watch it rain. Also we saw elk in the mornings. And a friendly little squirrel would visit us on the deck. A much needed weekend getaway for us.
