Nancy's Loop

Trail Overview

Nancy's Loop is a mellow rolling trail that is popular with local walkers, hikers, and bikers in the area; caution is urged, as there might be people on the trail around blind corners. This rolling trail offers a mellow introduction to the area, including a sandy wash section, hard-packed dirt, and a few spots of erosion and sneaky rocks or cacti. Other than that, there are no obstacles on this trail as well as no cell service. There is an overlook called "Inspiration Point", as well as a few homemade signs that give short directional information. If hiking, be sure to watch out for rattlesnakes as they are prominent in the area, especially during the warmer months. This is Arizona State Trust Land and requires a yearly permit that can be purchased and printed online. The permit allows 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.
