Starting from east to west, here are some zoomed-in topos of the Mt. Graham area. First is the stretch of Swift Trail (the Mt. Graham access road) in the vicinity of Shannon Park and Hospital Flat. Shannon Park is to the northwest of Heliograph Peak -- the Arcadia trail departs from the campground. Hospital Flat is the campground at the western edge of the map.
Just to the west of Hospital Flat are good hiking and mountain biking trails. The Cunningham trail/bike-head is about a mile past Hospital Flat.
After the turnoff to the telescope site lies the Columbine Ranger Station. Across the road lies the start of the Ash Creek trail. 2.5 miles down this trail lies Ash Creek Falls.
Further down the road, we encounter the trails associated with Riggs Lake. On the east side are southbound trails:
And the west side has trails continuing on towards Clark Peak.
