Trail Overview

This is a fun, beautiful loop trail around Horseshoe Hill in the Coconino National Forest. You'll experience a mix of ponderosa pine forests and high-elevation meadows. Due to the location, and depending on the time of day, you will likely encounter mule deer, elk, and even pronghorn! As always, be a steward of our public lands and national forests; practice Tread Lightly! principles.
