The Greens Peak segment extends from the Sky Hi Trailhead near the junction of FR 22 and FR 9724X eastward toward the Sheep Corral area, passing near Greens Peak — the volcanic knoll rising above the meadows of eastern Arizona — near the junction of FR 117 and FR 117A. It links forest roads and trail sections across alpine meadows, aspen, ponderosa pine, and mixed conifer woodlands, offering elevated views of the Springerville Volcanic Field, nearby peaks (including Mount Baldy and Sunrise Peak), and distant mountain ridges.
The terrain is mostly unpaved forest roads and motorized connectors with mixed surface conditions: dirt and gravel, occasional washboard or rocky sections, some gentle grades and steeper climbs near the peak. High-clearance vehicles (4WD/OHV) are recommended, especially in wet or snowy periods.
