Great easy hike, beautiful canyons and vistas
Beautiful trail. I took my dog and walked the whole trail. It is an easy trail but very little shade.We came across a Javalina but with the Boarder Collie stare down it ran away.
Went on this hike on 01/13/2018, on a beautiful sunny day, 70 degrees. Make sure you take a right at the sign before the trail begins. It is a little steep towards the top but the views are amazing.
great trail. Stay on right side when entering trail for best views. Bring lots of water and a hiking stick.
The trail is easy to follow. My dog and I completed the trail in 2 hours. The views from the top are nice.
2 hours. Right side more scenic. Not sure if theres a fee for trail day use. interesting rock formations.
I would rate this as a moderate hike due to loose rocks on trail and some of the inclines.
This was a fun hike, and a little challenging! Definitely worth it, I took my dog and he loved splashing around in the washes. I'd recommend it!
Guindani Loop Trail is 4.2 miles in length. This loop can be hiked by following the trail to the right at the fork that is ¼ mile from the parking lot. This takes you back into the canyon with multiple crossings of the wash until you start the steep climb up to the ridge. At the saddle the view is spectacular of the San Pedro Valley. Now the trail begins a long downhill hike back to the parking lot.
Quick 2 mile hike right by Kartchner Caverns. Not a lot to see that is different to any other trail or view from the area but it is good to do to push the moisture out of the lungs after you do the cave tour.
