Copper Falls Trail runs about 3.11 miles in the Prescott National Forest, under the Verde Ranger District, and is numbered 0504. Hiking, horseback riding and bicycles are all allowed. Grades run from 8 to 10 percent, a moderate steady climb. The surface is native material, so it is dirt and rock. It is rated trail class 3, which means a more developed path than the plainest routes nearby, with a clearer tread. The shorter length makes it a reasonable half day outing rather than a full one. Check with the Verde Ranger District on conditions and any closures before heading out.

Saloon Trail is 0.19 miles near Camp Verde, in the Verde Ranger District of Prescott National Forest, as trail number 9833. At under a fifth of a mile this is a connector rather than a walk: the kind of short segment that joins two longer routes or reaches a junction. The typical grade is 5 to 8 percent, the surface is native material, and the trail class is 3. Hiking, horses and bicycles are all listed as allowed uses. Plan it as one piece of a larger loop, and look at the map before you rely on signage at the junctions.

Comfort Inn is a hotel at 340 North Goswick Way in Camp Verde. It sits near the highway on the north side of town, which makes it an easy stop for drivers and a short drive from the state park and the older streets. The phone number is (928) 567-9000, and rooms are booked through the brand's website. Hours are not a factor at a hotel, but rates are: call or check online to compare nights, ask about breakfast, and ask about parking if you are towing a trailer or driving something large.

Mary Rush paints and sells her own work under the name Wildfeather Fine Art, from 1471 South Salt Mine Road in Camp Verde. Original paintings are offered, in landscape and abstract work, and can be seen through her website. Buyers in Camp Verde and Sedona follow her work. The phone number is (256) 279-7238. Because this is an artist's studio rather than a shop with set hours, call or write before driving out. Ask whether a visit can be arranged, whether a piece you saw online is still available, and how shipping or delivery is handled.

The Burger King in Camp Verde is at 365 North Goswick Way. It opens at 6 in the morning Monday through Saturday and at 7 on Sunday, closing at 9 at night every day. There is a drive through lane and seating outside. Orders can be taken away, but delivery is not offered. Burgers are the main part of the menu. The phone number is (928) 567-3401. The early opening makes it one of the breakfast stops near the highway. Call ahead on holidays, since hours posted for a normal week do not always hold.
