Little Whitewater Creek trail begins at a point about 1 mile up Little Whitewater Creek road. It is a somewhat steep
trail at the beginning, but after 1/4 mile or so of climbing, it comes out on a beautiful mesa, and follows that for
another mile. Eventually, it climbs over Nabours Mountain and descends into the South Fork Whitewater Creek drainage
and provided you have the energy, travels to Whitewater Creek, then up the Gold Dust Trail to Whitewater Mesa, where
hopefully your ride is waiting. :-)

Looking back at the San Francisco Mountains/Drainage and eventually, Arizona.



Almost to the mesa.
