Charlie's Loop

Trail Overview

Charlie's Loop is a mellow dirt track that is lined with cactus and creosote bushes. Some erosion is present on the trail, so it's somewhat slow-going, but the rocks and views of the nearby mountains at the north end of the trail make it worth it. Jackrabbits and cattle are present in the area, as well as donkeys. There is spotty cell service along this trail so offline maps would be a sound idea. This route is on Arizona State Trust Land. This land requires a yearly permit that can be purchased and printed online. The permits allow certain recreational activities, including camping, bicycling, bird watching, GPS-based recreational activities (geocaching), hiking, horseback riding, off-highway vehicle (OHV) usage, photography, picnicking, and sightseeing.
