| the hike |
Generally considered a moderately challenging route. This is a very popular area for hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring.
Known for its stunning desert landscapes and panoramic vistas, this route gives hikers an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.
The rugged terrain is covered with cacti, ocotillos, palo verde trees, and other desert flora.
If you're lucky, you may be able to spot wildlife like mule deer, javelina, and a variety of birds.
Bring a sack lunch and plenty of water; there is a drinking fountain at the trailhead but no water on the trail. The trail is also open to horses and mountain bikes, so use caution. Park Web Site with trail map. We will hike the loop clockwise and get the up hill finished while we are fresh on the trail. |
