I recently took a hike

Cave Creek Recreation Area - Go John Trail

I'd describe this hike as

Very picturesque medium length (5.8 miles) hike. Plain desert trail without any water features recently renovated to make more safe for the casual hiker. Several moderate inclines producing CV exercise especially in the summer with the heat.

Advice

  • Simple hike, well marked trail. Bring your 2 liters of water. Trail head is in a parking lot. The trail is a loop beginning and ending in the parking lot. $6 entry fee to park per automobile. There are horses on parts of the trail during winter months.
