CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Wow, can't believe I haven't seen that tree. Is it visible from the 191 or do you have to take a side road? Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted February 12, 2009 hello - Alpine, Arizona - Arrow Tree This is less an attraction than an oddity. There's a old dead tree along the side of the Coronado Trail (Rte 666) south of Alpine, that has become the target of literally thousands of archers. Apparently, the idea is to stick your arrow as close to the top of the tree as possible. The tree is about as full as it can be. It's one of the more interesting things along the road, north of the biggest hole in the ground at Morenci. my mistake on the 191 - coronado trail 666 same thing - oh we i google earthed. it actually has a square and the approx location of the tree- you can google directions heres coord- 33*32'21.39N 109*20'08.70W Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azpackhorse Report post Posted February 12, 2009 It is just South of Blue Vista, you can see it from the road. (I still call it Rt 666 also) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHT_MTNMAN Report post Posted February 12, 2009 I honestly can't remember how many arrows I have in the tree or how many times I missed, I haven't been there for awhile but if I remember you can hit the road further down if you miss and seems more unsafe now then it did when I was a teenager.

COUESAZ Report post Posted February 12, 2009 OH yes the blue once it has your heart you are in trouble. It will dang near kill you to pack a bull in that country. It took three of us 9 hours to pack my brothers bull out a few years ago. And it was less than a mile from the road. I have never taken a shot at the tree but stop to worship it every year at least once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willhunt4coues Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Think of how many arrows are at the bootom of the hill. You probably wouldn't have to buy another arrow if you could find them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
