n the Town of Fredonia Arizona, from the intersection of Highways 389 and 89, travel south on Highway 89 toward Jacob Lake and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for 1.5 miles and find the road FR 22 (forest road) that turns off to the right near a couple of buildings. This road (forest service 22) is a paved 2 lane highway for the next 21.5 miles. At 21.5 miles the road becomes dirt and gravel but remains in good condition, but might become impassable when wet. These roads dry out quickly however and can usually be traveled the next morning after a hard rain.
