    This trailhead is accessible via State Highway 260 and Forest Road 289 and leads up Horton Creek Train and Derrick Trail eventually connecting to the Highline Trail. There are vault toilets but no drinking water here.

    Adjacent to the trailhead, the Upper Tonto Creek Campground has six campsites and three picnic sites, equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills.
