The printed GPS does not match the directions

The page's GPS string is identical to the one printed on the Templeton and Little Horse trail pages and does not match the Verde Valley School Road trailhead its own directions describe — likely a copy error on the source site, so the coordinates fact is recorded as unknown.

At the creek

As published: "There is no way to drive across creek to north side of Red Rock Crossing." The description also notes the trail ends at Verde Valley School Road at 1.6 miles and calls it a great mountain biking trail loop.
