This location may be confusing as the River Mountains Trail is a hiking trail to the top of Red Mountain built in the mid-1930’s by the Civilian Conservation Corp. It is located near St. Jude’s Ranch for Children. The River Mountains Loop Trail passes through the parking lot, thus it also is an access point.

No facilities available.
