Beautiful area to hike. There are some elevation changes on the hike. We hiked the trail “clockwise” which means we had a steeper exit to the hike. If you go “counter clockwise” you start with the steep section. The neat views and rock formations are at the step sections of the trail

This is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking hikes in Arizona. Elevation gain is 560 feet. Go to grotto area first and keep hiking down to the Echo Park area. Hike back up is easy on a well maintained trail.

An easy hike with minimal elevation gain. A remote part of the state but easy to get to with a paved road all the way to the trail head. This is a STUNNING area with jaw dropping, head spinning rock formations. Pit toilets and picnic area at the trailhead. Improved camping facilities at the base of the mountain. Strongly consider adding the drive through the Chiricahua Mountains on FR 42 to really absorb this beautiful area.
