There are always new hikes to discover in Arizona, and Pine Loop Trail is perfect for those days when you just want a quick adventure. With lush greenery, flowers, wildlife, and jaw-dropping mountain views, it offers a little of everything in less than three miles.
This easy hike is part of the Arizona trail, a completely non-motorized route stretching 800 miles north from Mexico to Utah.
AllTrails/Megan Eikenberry It traverses the entire state, linking mountains, canyons, forests, and - most importantly - communities and people.
Clocking in at just under three miles, Pine Loop Trail is an easy little adventure suitable for all skill levels (even kiddos and leashed dogs).

Pine trees whose narrow trunks seemingly stretch up to the clouds and wide open, panoramic vistas of the surrounding desert landscape are just two types of terrain you’ll see.

Despite an elevation gain of only 360 feet, this summit view is pretty impressive.
AllTrails/Kay Lynne It’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and snow-capped mountain peaks tower majestically in the distance. The trail is minimally trafficked, so you’ll have ample opportunity to close your eyes and revel in the stillness.
Since wildlife abounds in these woods, don’t be surprised if you stumble upon a few skeletons.

In the spring, wildflowers spanning every color of the rainbow burst into life along the path.

Several trails intersect with the loop, so feel free to extend your hike if three miles isn’t quite enough.
