Schultz Creek Trailhead — Attraction in Four Corners States

Beautiful scenery, but same issue I have with other Flagstaff trails- the markings. Thought I'd hike the Big Bang trail and make a loop using the Lost Burrito trail. Well, that one was lost, alright. Big Bang was pretty well marked- got to the Dry Lake Overlook, and since I didn't do the out and back, got into trouble trying to keep it reasonable to return before dark.

If you're an experienced rider looking for an adrenaline rush, this trail is for you! Just make sure you have the skills and bike to handle the...
