View Point Trail is a moderate, 1.9-mile hike, descending down 1,600 feet to reach an elevation of 6,000 feet. This is one of a number of well-maintained trails serving the Mingus Mountain area and campgrounds. The trails at these high elevations offer great views to the east of the Verde Valley and the Cottonwood area.
In the fall, the northern and western slopes of Mingus Mountain are especially attractive when the maples and oaks turn to varying shades of red and brown. The trails in this area offer opportunities for a number of loop trips back to the campground area. Horseback riders on this trail should be experienced, as the trail is rough.
