74 Mountain #153 Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
Trailhead for Mogollon Trail #153 and access into the southwestern portion of the Gila Wilderness. Nine (9) miles of this trail, from trailhead to junction with Trail Canyon Trail was logged in the summer of 2017. This trail is a great access to the wilderness from Gila/Cliff region. It provides access to Mogollon Baldy. Mogollon Creek is still a lush place to hike despite some flooding.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
