Buena Vista is a beautiful trail just a short drive from Show Low. Keep an eye open for trail markers to help keep you on the trail. source: fs.usda.gov
From downtown Show Low, drive 4.8 miles west towards the White Mountain Apache Reservation. Pass the Summer Pines turnoff. Just after mile post 337 you'll see a sign, "Entering the White Mountain Apache Reservation." Turn left before the sign on to Forest Road 300 (Rim Road). Drive 300 yards. Trailhead is on the left.
