My partner and I love to travel, whether it be car camping pitching a tent or staying in our little fixer-upper camper.

Start counterclockwise to have the creek at the end of the hike. We only encountered one trail runner the entire way. At a few points there are multiple trails coming together and I encourage you to use your GPS

Some scramble mostly moderate with loose rocks. There are broken pottery pieces all along the hike. So cool. You are able to get right into the cliff dwelling. If you are able to follow the trail to the top of the Mesa you will see the ruins of a huge dwelling. We were not able to make that summit for lack of time.

This trail was rough, had a few spots where I think I got off trail but managed to go through the wash and make it back. Not a trail I would recommend doing alone. Make sure you hug the mountain on the left hander or theres potential to roll

Trail is directly off the interstate and there is no warning. It’s a short dirt drive that leads to the gate. It feels like you are trespassing but you're not. There is so so much to see! Give yourself some time to meander. It’s more of an adventure than a hike.

Wonderful trail with a side trip to a waterfall at 2.6 or 2.7 miles going counterclockwise. Cross the creek and trail to the falls is to the right. Canyon is beautiful with quite large juniper

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!

The trail was in decent shape. The views were nice. There are plenty of places to stop to let the dogs out along the way. When we made it to town we discovered the saloon was closed. Luckily the General Store was open. Picked up some snacks and fudge of course

Petroglyphs are awesome!!! And we saw the Metates on the big boulders too! When you reach end of trail look to the left and you’ll see the little trail that leads up to the petroglyphs. The metate boulder is at the start of that little trail. So neat!

You'll need a high clear vehicle, an off-road vehicle. This isn't an easy accessible trail. Be promoted and let someone know before you head out here!

Beautiful area and hike. It isn't a hard hike and it is wonderfully well kept. We weren't expecting to have to sign in so that caught us by surprise. It also isn't pet friendly which is something to note. Still the surroundings are gorgeous and there are lots of plants to look at. Definitely recommend it

Nice hike, not too muddy, a couple of spots you need really watch about half way in where path is quite eroded. Nice lookout at end....have to go by the towers and find the trail up to the left. we missed it but thankfully some nice locals pointed it out to us.

Beautiful trail. Parking is on the street. There are a few challenging spots, like getting down to the water and back up. But not too bad! Bring a change of clothes, towel, and bug spray. Lots of mosquitoes on this one

Park on the side of the road. Walk around the no trespassing sign to the right. Follow the road up, and look for the pink ribbon on the right side...that path takes you up to the trailhead. Awesome trail to the falls!

12km one way, be prepared with lots of water and good hikers. The cabins are $75 USD a night, with bunk beds to rest your head. Beautiful hike, and a great stay!

Nice easy trail beautiful scenes of the ocean. Diamond Head and beautiful sunset. Lots of people in the area since it’s a very popular part.

So beautiful. Not really a hike at all but a beautiful walk. Within city limits!

You have to be lucky to score a ticket to get to Lake Ôhara! I recommend getting on the waitlist sooner than later. Non stop vistas from the moment you start this route. Worth every step up and down though my knees were complaining. 5 stars

This place isn't much of a hike, as a natural bridge is right beside the parking lot, what an amazing piece of land. Absolutely recommend checking this out if you are in the area, and climbing all over the natural Bridge, although be safe when doing so

Amazing hike! One of my favorites. Definitely recommend doing the loop counter clockwise. Nothing too steep but a few more challenging sections. Well worth the distance for the payoff of all the falls. Especially Twin Falls

This hike was definitely a challenge to complete. Took a little over 7 hours all together. If I ever do this hike again I will definitely bring gear to camp on top. I wish it was a clearer day. But it was still gorgeous. Wear good shoes. It’s very steep in some places!

A family hike more so, especially for train fans. Not overly difficult. Some steep parts. The reward is the remains of a century old steam train. I'd recommend grabbing a pamphlet.

Gorgeous body of water, super touristy of course. So I'd recommend going early to beat the crowds. Also, the rentals are not under $50, they are $90 Canadian, for just half of an hour. Absolutely ridiculous.
