Canyon Vista Campground
One of seven campgrounds in a row
Canyon Vista is the first of 7 campgrounds on Lake Mary Rd. (Forest Rd. 3) in the Lake Mary Recreation Corridor which runs southeast of Flagstaff. Only 6 miles from town, this campground has 14 campsites, hiking trails, rock climbing, and scenic vistas.
Hiking trails and loops lead to Sandy Canyons Trail, Vista Loop Trail, Walnut Canyon, and Arizona Trail and to The Pit rock climbing area.
