Spring Valley Road Scenic Drive passes through a pinyon-juniper woodland as it enters the forest from the west. Within a few miles, the vegetation changes to ponderosa pine and the north side of Sitgreaves Mountain and its larger neighbor to the east, Kendrick Mountain, come into view. The road then angles south through Spring Valley, maintaining good views of Sitgreaves Mountain all the way. This area contains a number of small but scenic aspen groves. South of Sanderson Pass, the road traverses the west edge of Government Prairie with outstanding views of the San Francisco Peaks to the east, near Flagstaff.
