West Fork of Oak Creek, AZ

 Amazing Hike! We crossed over 13 Streams!

All of these ruins are part of the old Mayhew's Lodge complex. The lodge opened in 1925, making it one of the first facilities to cater to tourists in the Sedona area. The forest service purchased the cabins in 1968, when the Mayhew family gave up the business. Mayhew's Lodge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, but removed five years later, after fire gutted the buildings.
 









Filmmakers used this area when making the movie, "Call of the Canyon" in 1922. The movie was based on the book by Zane Grey, who had a cabin in Payson, Arizona.
