Government Springs Trail Reviews

Did the loop clockwise so the most uphill was first as it was a warm day. Varied and pretty terrain for the first half, a bit rocky in places but only short periods. Lovely views and lots of saguaros. After we crossed the road on the return it was not so interesting, dirt roads and wash riding though you could trot or gallop if you wanted to. The springs by the windmill did have water for the horses which they were very happy for!
