Here are my favorite hammock spots. I am excited to share these treasure spots with you and hope you seek out your own hammock locations!
1. Aspen Corner
Located near the top of Arizona Snowbowl, this spot is a recent favorite. I found it much easier to hang up my hammock on Aspen trees instead of my usual Ponderosa Pine trees. I hiked a bit back until I found the perfect space between two aspens to hang my hammock.
I remained close to the trail so as not to damage any sections of forest. While there were a few ants which fell onto my hammock, it was nothing compared to the beauty I was surrounded by. You can hear the leaves of aspens flickering and feel isolated in the world.
2. Buffalo Park
When I need a close by hammock afternoon I head to the very back of Buffalo Park. You'll park, and head down the stretch of trail straight through the middle of Buffalo Park. You'll see a stretch of trees in the very back away from those utilizing the Park trail. Here is a perfect place to hang the hammock up for some reading, napping or lounging.
3. FR 151
Forest Road 151 is one of my favorite places on Earth so I knew there would be some prime hammock spots. Really you can hammock just about anywhere along this road, but I like to head about 3-4 miles in where there is a large stretch of Aspen trees ready to chill under.
4. End of the World
Head straight down Woody Mountain Road to find this special spot in Northern Arizona. You can hammock along the rim where Flagstaff and Sedona meet. Absolutely perfect.
5. Lake Mary (Upper)
When it is warm enough I like to head out to Lower Lake Mary to put the hammock up in view of the water and sunset.
