Trail Overview
This route makes a fun and easy loop through the BLM land near Salome, Arizona, with some mild rocky sections and a couple of great viewpoints. The trail starts out flat through the desert floor, meandering through the cactus with lots of easy straight sections and gradual curves. There is minor loose rock and embedded rock in the trail. It rides past some scenic rock features, such as piles of giant boulders, and gradually climbs up to the edge of the nearest mountain with some great views overlooking the valley below. There are two viewpoints that are short and easy spurs off the trail that you can check out. This is one of the more scenic trails in this system, and shouldn’t be missed.
