Rainbow Valley Trail North Loop is a 5.8 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Goodyear, Arizona that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, horses, and mountain biking and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
This hike located near the rodeo arena in the beautiful Estrella Mountain Regional Park is great for a fitness hike or trail running. There are many ups and downs along this trail as you traverse the mountainside. When you make the turn onto Toothaker portion of this trail you will go in and out of many washes. This hike is full of wildflowers in the spring! $6 per car entry fee to the park.

November 21, 2020November 9, 2020November 8, 202011/8/20- This trail is beautiful, and it has some of the most unique wildlife! It was perfect weather and there was hardly anyone on the trail. This is a very comfortable loop and perfect for any beginner hiker, trail runner, or bike rider. Overall, I enjoyed this trail and I highly recommend!

April 9, 2020April 9, 2020March 7, 2020Beautiful and quiet trails. Very well maintained.
November 7, 2019Completed today, the actual mileage was 4.9.
October 15, 2019i am not so sure about the easy rating. Perhaps that was for hikers or more experienced mtn bikers. we are pretty new to Mtn Biking and found some of the washes quite challenging. still a fun trail. We will do again.
June 7, 2019The trail is not very technically difficult. There is no shade so if it's hot be prepared. it is a quiet hike there are not many other hikers
March 22, 2019I think the map to this trail is a bit wrong. I tried to find the trail that connects around this as a loop but couldn’t find it so I kept going. As I kept going I saw it was taking me off the trail.. so I had to turn back around the same way I started. I ended up doing nearly the same amount of miles and elevation gain so I still got a good hike out of it but it’s not what I expected. My least favorite trail but a hike is a hike and an exercise is an exercise!
March 31, 2018Nice trail. Pretty easy. I would say 5 miles though.
