Lower Loop Trail

Trail Overview

Lower Loop trail is a delightful easy trail. The wash crossings and erosion aren't so bad that they have become washouts, and the paint damage, while guaranteed, isn't so much to deter you from exploring this section of the desert. Creosote and palo verde trees along with various species of cactus line this trail, so beware of punctures. There is minimal to no cell service out here, so offline maps are essential. 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.
