Great trail, great views. Too many people. Next time don’t do this on a Saturday!

Beautiful hike near Superstition Mountains. Would have been even better if the desert had been blooming

My group was hiking this south to north coming from Kelvin, AZ in our traverse of sections 16 and 17 of the AZ Trail. The views were great as we walked through rolling hills while Picket Post would poke it's head out every once in a while on the horizon. Saw a white tail deer too! There was water at the rain collector so we topped off our water supply via a filter. All ascents/descents weren't too steep making going up or down a joy. Definitely enjoyed our time out on the trail.

Super easy. 4.94 miles. 1h:53mins with Wildland SAR pack 40lbs. I offered water all the hikers. Be safe.

Beautiful desert scenery. Road is significantly harder in spots for stock vehicles. Mostly in washes with significant collection of rocks. May need to walk and choose lines and build road where needed.

1/3/21 No water in Boulder Creek or LaBarge Creek. Enough clear water in pools around Second Water Spring to filter if needed.

The forest road out to sheep’s bridge is a rocky road. It is slow going and not really a difficult trail but don’t take anything with highway tires. A stock suv with better tires is totally fine. The bouncing is totally worth the drive because sheep’s bridge is awesome.

Mark’s Montana Mountain Ride: Upper Tank, Queen Valley to Reavis Trail Canyon, Pinal County, AZ, USA
9:45 - 3:30 ride

Was a nice challenging trail to complete in 5 hours, even for a veteran. Definitely worth putting on your list.

Great fall or winter hike with a young family. Enjoyed the desert scenery.

Very bumpy on the first part of the ride from hwy 17...this part is at a challenge level of a 5-6 but after that it’s a 1... we’ll worth it and very beautiful! I would highly recommend this ride. Any stock SXS can do this ride. Lunch in Cave Creek was great.

Great vistas all the way up and fantastic 360 degree views from the top.

Good trail, easy when dry but potentially difficult water crossings during or after a rain.
★
★
★
★
Great variety of terrain. My first off roading trip and was not disappointed. All of the tough stuff is in the first half of the ride. Took about 4 hours to get from I17 to cave creek but we were mostly driving with short stops. High clearance and 4wd a must.

This hike has zero redeeming qualities, just a long walk across a boulder strewn, cow pie riddled, thorny wasteland. Avoid at all costs.
★
This was an experience. After the mountains were recently on fire it’s like the heat still remains. Sad sight but a very pleasant trail. It wasn’t difficult at all my dog and I made it with simplicity.
★
★

Super easy. Wasn’t crowded at all. I arrived at 0545. Just two other hikers ahead of me. Didn’t need my head lamp. Semi full moon. Spotted some mule deer. Nice and cool 65 degrees.

10-18 trail is open all the way from Cave Creek FR24 to FR41 to I17/W. Table Mesa Road...all is passable! Awesome Trail...there was no water in the river yet...I miss that part...another month or two there will be :D

Good hike along old unused 4WD road and then along the newer 4WD road to the top. Great views on the top but not along the way.

Beautiful trail one hour drive from Phoenix. Close to nobody on the trail
★

Stock 4x4 can make this with no problem. There are some very technical areas of you wish such as The Waterfall but you can bypass.
★

Drove it this afternoon with my Toyota FJ. All stock have BFG AT. Did not find it difficult more easy. Very quick drive. About 1 hour to the hwy. Stopped about 3 times to get out so my wife and daughter could take pictures. Got the picture up against the canyon. The FJ looks like a Tonka Toy.

Kind of annoyingly rocky. But still a great drive! Took out a stock 2020 Tacoma TRD Off Road, and it handled the terrain excellently. There is a large wash that is about half or more of the trail that has pretty deep sand, 4WD necessary for this part. Got stuck at one deep sand pit but was able to crawl out in 4-Low. The trail extends farther and wraps around to the road but we just turned around because we were hungry. Overall easy and fun!!
★
★
★
Looked like a great jeep trail with lots of off shoot challenges. Some river bottom and wash areas that were very rocky. Also had a lot of quail and rabbits.
★
★
★
★
This was probably the most technical trip with the guys yet. First trip with new tires and lift kit. Worked great!!

Not a hike. We traveled from Tonto Basin AZ, trailering our UTV’s 90 miles to the AZ Rim. Elevation 7,540 feet. The views were amazingly spectacular. The Coconino National Forest roads and trails are emasculate. Signage on NF roads and trails are awesome.

Though the road is destroyed going down to the canyon we had a good time there. It is pretty and quiet.

Nothing too strenuous and lots of beauty. It was my 1st time hiking completely around Weaver’s Needle. We started early to witness the early desert beauty and avoid the heat. There was still plenty of moving water which surprised both of us. This was also the only hike I’ve been on when I didn’t meet a single person on the trail.

Wide easy trail with gentle slope up to the old road tunnel. Neat views of Queens Canyon and Creek.
★
★
★
Moderately difficult mountain bike / hiking trails in the desert with views.
★
★
★
★

Fantastic vistas of Weaver’s Needle and Battleship Mountain. Great hike. Great area for camping as well. Parking at Canyon Lake Marina.

This is a great wheeler trail! Beautiful views, cactus were in bloom. Many wildflowers. One of my top 2 rides ever!
★
★

Off roading in my Jeep. Not the best way in, as the main trail entrance was closed for COVID-19 pandemic. Took narrow side trails and exited on Beeline highway. Wanted to get to the lake but ran out of time.
★
★
★
Nice out and back hike with a lot of climbing. Better choice for a weekday than mid-day Saturday.
★
★
★
★
This is about one hour ride. You will cross the river about 5 times. It’s way away from everything so be prepared
★

I arrived early, just after 7am. It was very quiet and made the hike even more enjoyable. You have to mind your footing and the trail is rocky.
The hike is medium/moderate and well travelled. While I recommend always having extra water, you could do this with a litre. (I only had a few sips, at the scenery was all I needed to drink.)
Well worth it.

★

A lot fun, some difficult parts. Make sure you have a high clearance vehicle and or someone to help guide you through certain parts. A FJ Cruiser and or Jeep Wrangler can make it.
★

Outstanding scenery, road is pretty rough but can be accomplished in a stock 4x4
★

★

It was pretty difficult going up the North side of the mountain but once you push through the climb you are rewarded with the amazing view over the towns and cities! Well worth the hike!
★
★

This is a great quick trail not to difficult at all the scenery is nice not mind blowing but a good fast paced heart rate raising hike kinda rocky in certain parts lots of sand so be aware of that great leg pump lol.
★
★
★
Great hike for a cool day. Even better after snowmelt as there is alot of running water. Great rock formations
★

This was our first hike up Siphon Draw Trail towards Flatiron. Started to late in the day and only made it just up the granite rock past the waterfall. Going back to make the summit in a couple days though!
★
★
★
★
★
Awesome trail. A bit technical. Lots of water, snow and elevation changes! I highly recommend.
★
★
★
★
★
Amazing in the fall! Beautiful colors and lots of water! Scramble to the tunnel but the rest was pretty easy, for the most part! Beautiful!
★
★

It was a very demanding hike through dry river beds; up canyon wall; and returning back down. We had to walk through water about 2 feet deep at one point in order to continue on. This hike is not for the faint of heart but those who do it will see some beautiful Sonoran Desert terrain
★

Great off-roaring trail. One very tough obstacle in the beginning. Lockers recommended.
★
★
★
★
Sweet trail! I wouldn’t recommend a solo trip through here. Bring lots of water. Make sure vehicle is up to par before trip.
Water crossings could be high/deep after recent rains. Lots of sand and ruts.
We clocked about 12 miles and took us about 2.5 hours in a lifted JKU with 33s. No lockers.

Spring of a wet year was a great time to make this hike. Water everywhere - flowing creeks and springs. We brought a filter and so had plenty to drink.
Some things to watch out for:
Water crossings - the rocks weren’t super slick but any time you cross it can be dangerous. Going to the cabin means 20+ water crossings, all easy wades.
Poison ivy - plenty of this seen along creek banks.
Snakes - saw 2 Arizona Black Rattlesnakes on different parts of the trail.

We did this hike on 2/16/19 and the trailhead was open.
This is an excellent hike with unique terrain compared to the surrounding areas, due to it's higher elevation. We took our dogs and so only hiked to the saddle and enjoyed views of the peak. It was chilly and a tiny bit of snow was falling.

This is one of the best day hikes from Phoenix if you're looking to skip the parking woes and crowds of Camelback or something a bit more interesting than Usury. It's about like Flatiron, but a little less dramatic. Not one for the summer months.
A part of the trail goes along the Arizona Trail, making it fun to dream about taking a much longer walk.

I've hiked thousands of miles in Arizona over the years but at only 7ish miles (round trip), this is the most difficult hike I've ever done in Arizona. The last mile or so to the top, has some hand over hand climbing involved that will make many hikers uneasy. Remember, going down is much more difficult then going up. I would not advise this hike in the rain! Having said that, the view from the Flatiron was amazing!
