The Shoofly Indian Ruins were believed to have been occupied between A.D. 1000-1250. At an elevation of 5,240 feet, Shoofly Village once had a total of 79 structures of which the rock outlines, once the base of the walls, are still visible.
At the center of this site is where a larger structure once existed, believed to have been a building with 26 rooms averaging 37.4 square meters each, and part of this structure was perhaps two stories high. In clusters around the core area were 39 smaller structures and 14 more were scattered about the general area and at least one of these structures had a curved wall. The entire compound of approximately 3.75 acres (1.5 hectares) is enclosed by a small rock fence.

This is my favorite hiking spot in Rim Country and it’s only 1 mile away. The Washington Park trailhead is an intersection of the famous Arizona Trail (runs from Mexico to Utah) and the Highline Trail that follows along the bottom of the Mogollon Rim. It’s lush forest and the headwaters of the E. Verde River create a lot of streams and attract a lot of wildlife. I suggest you follow the Col. Devlin Trail and take a detour loop to see a failed railroad tunnel attempt from the 1900’s.
