Buena Vista Trail is just a short drive from Show Low. The trail meanders through ponderosa pine and manzanita. There are several good views of the surrounding forest as well as of Show Low and White Mountain Apache Reservation to the south. Sections of loose rock on short steep grades may prove difficult for bicyclists. The trail utilizes and crosses many old roads and trails, and it is easy to lose the trail briefly.

The sandy soil along much of the trail is great for people who are interested in animal tracks. Tracks from beetles to scorpions to elk will show up in sand.

This trail ranges in elevation from 6,520 to 6,773 feet.
