Good Enough is an easy hike of about 1.4 miles in the Payson Ranger District of Tonto National Forest in Arizona, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is an out-and-back with a total climb of about 1,017 feet, so the one-way gain is roughly 500 feet. The route reaches a high point of about 6,164 feet, and the steepest stretch comes early, around 0.2 miles in, with a grade of about 21 percent. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 74°F with lows near 46°F, and April highs around 70°F. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Bikes are allowed on the natural-surface trail, and Pine Canyon, a mountain biking area, is just 0.1 mile away. Pine Canyon Trail #26 is about 1.1 miles off, and Sharp Creek Group campground is about 1.6 miles away. Climbers can find Zone-tail Buttress about 2.4 miles from the trail.
