—KP-Grant Creek Loop, ssss1

“The Strayhorse Loop includes a unique section of hiking along the Blue River, and has the flavor of hiking in Arizona before the recreation explosion, when trailheads were rarely marked, backcountry trails were almost unused, and trail signs often missing.”

—Strayhorse Loop, ssss1

“As you climb, a panoramic view of Canyon Lake and the rugged terrain around it opens behind you; don’t forget to take a break and look back! You’re hiking through classic Sonoran desert, and such distinctive plants as the giant saguaro cactus and green-barked palo verde trees dominate the landscape.”

—La Barge-Boulder Canyon Loop, ssss1
