Description

This trail is a fairly standard singletrack trail for the Sonoran desert. There are plenty of rocks on the trail so watch your feet and try not to get distracted with the sea of Saguaro cactus all around. The trail has rolling elevation with the hills which keeps the views fresh.

There are no water resources in the park, so be sure to bring your own.
