Pasture Trail is an easy, short outing in the Clifton Ranger District of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests in eastern Arizona. The route is about 1.5 miles long and rises roughly 50 feet from a low point of 4,389 feet to a high of 4,470 feet, making it an out-and-back that fits easily into a day spent exploring the district. The trail is natural-surface and open to both horses and bikes, and it is not accessible. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and the trail stays open year-round. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Glenwood, NM, show highs around 74°F in April and 76°F in October, while July and August highs average about 91°F with the most wet days of the year. Nearby, Bohom lies about a mile away and White Tank Trail about 2 miles off. For an overnight stay, Lower Juan Miller Campground and Upper Juan Miller Campground are both within about 8.5 miles.
