Great when combined with an out-and-back on the Cactus Forest Trail. Outstanding for trail running. Would be extremely exposed during the summer months.
Very nice, great landscaping with beautiful and tall Saguaros, easy trail to go with kids.

Starting from the picnic area, there are many excellent cacti and Palo Verde specimens along this easy trail. Tennis shoes ok. Bring water and be prepared for lots of sunshine. Map available at the Visitors Center.
Easy trail to hike as it is flat and the trail has good footing most of the way (very beginning is paved). There were a few parts on the trail where it was hard to see where you should be going. Nice hike to get the legs going or to recover from a harder hike the day before. No shade although at the picnic area about .5 or so in there is a nice place to sit and eat a snack or have lunch that provides a restroom and some shade.
Fun trail to get out and stretch your legs while enjoying the park.
Was a nicely groomed trail that was easy to walk on.
Really nice trail that is mostly flat and easy for kids. We saw a huge jackrabbit and a deer as we walked it during the evening. My daughters (6,3) loved it and didn't complain at all.
Great hike. Real easy to do for a starter hike.
Great scenery , awesome for the kids
An easy loop trail. First part of Trail was paved then turned to dirt and stone.
Trail was quite flat and good for all ages.
Beautiful cacti
Great walk to take the young kids on.
Very flat 92% of the way with a beautiful paved-like trail that's natural. Would love to do it again and wander the different sections in this national park. Go early for the cooler weather.
Great family hike, some great saguaros!
Chola trail was our favorite
Flat and easy walk I used to take as a teenager just to get "lost" for awhile so I could clear my thoughts. Best to go early morning to avoid the heat or near sunset for the gorgeous colors in the sky.

Very easy and flat hike. Beautiful views and plenty of opportunity for animal sightings. We saw three jack rabbits and plenty of birds.
Great place to stop along the trail to take pics.

Hiked this trail a few weeks ago, this trail is really easy and right now the trail if very dry. Temps are great for hiking in the lowlands right now.
Nice easy walk. Numerous hilking paths available at Mica the end of this trail. Be sure U get trail brochure when checking in at Ranger Station.
