Was headed home from a great weekend in Strawberry and knew we wanted to hit the trails before…read moreheaded back so we stopped to do a quick hike on the Pine Trailhead. Pine Trialhead is clearly marked and is apx 3 miles around trip, its considered an easy hike with an elevation gain around 300/400ft feet. The views are beautifully and part of the trail is shaded which I appreciated , even though the weather stated it was 70ish outside it still felt warm. Glad to have stopped and hiked the Pine Trailhead, cant wait to come back to explore some more!

Great trails here! Mixed use for runners, hikers and mountain bikers…read more $5 or America the Beautiful Pass to park at this trailhead. Limited parking but we arrived early and got one of the last spots. Environmental toilets. Large trash bin near the toilets. Trails were well marked and maintained but some of the maps were a little confusing. We did a sort of loop that mostly consisted of Cockscomb Trail with a little bit of Aerie and finished with brief section walking along the highway to get to our car faster and avoid an advanced trail. Great views of the red rocks, some cool cacti, birds and deer, and not very crowded. Also, everyone we encountered here was so polite and followed standard trail etiquette. The bikers here were great with informing us of how many were in their group. Hardly any litter which was great to see. People seem very respectful here. This trail could be rough in the summer because there is a lot of sun exposure but was perfect in January. Really glad we drove a bit farther out from VOC to do this trail.

Curvaceous narrow single track spinning and cruising across the terrain, dropping into and popping out of washes - my Santa Cruz, Tall Boy 29er suspension pop pop pops getting after it. The climb up Blowout canyon switch backs, a narrow trail on a steep ledge at times, requires concentration so you don't slip down hundreds of feet into valley. Pedaling up through Juniper trees with stellar views all around. Plus about a mile of rolling rock gardens - fun but technical. Then, descending *4F FFFF Fast Flow Furious Fun!

The trail system is well marked and well kept up. We took the Blowout Canyon trail 551 to Bullseye 557 in a clockwise direction. I recommend this direction for the best view of the red rocks and valley to the north while you are hiking. There is interesting geology with red and gray tuff rock in several places and a red rimmed wall along part of the wash canyon. We saw only a couple of other hikers and two sets of mountain bikers on a Thursday in January so this is a great place to get away from crowds and enjoy the views. There was some mud on about 1/4 of the trail which would make for messy mountain biking, and a few places of the trail are narrow with a pretty good drop off into the creek canyon, so this is best for experienced mountain bikers. It is a fairly easy trail for hikers with only moderate climbs. Our hike was about 6.5 miles, but there are many options for longer or shorter walks. There is no shade so this is best enjoyed in the spring, fall or winter. To get here take Mingus Ave south of highway 89A, head about 1.5 miles south of the airport where Mingus Ave turns into FR 493. There are a few bumps and rocks on the Forrest Service road but it is easily passable in any car. The parking lot for the trailhead is on the west side and is quite large.

Phenomenal fishing for the kids in the lagoons 4. The little cabins are a must for families! Will be on our regular rotation now. Pro tip: if staying in the cabins, there is only one wall outlet inside. Bring an electric water kettle to heat up water for ramen, coffee, cider, oatmeal, and for doing a quick rinse of any cooking pans and utensils. We would died without our hot water kettle. Great job, Arizona State Parks!

What a perfect day! Jason and Phil came to pick us up at our Air BnB at the assigned time. We…read moredrove a short while to the start point and then we received backpacks, poles, water, and snacks for the day. Jason led us on a 6 mile traverse hike. Jason was amazing. He shared his knowledge of the area, and pointed out plants and wildlife along the way. He knew every lookout and picture opportunity and used our camera to take some fantastic group pictures. He also airdropped us pictures he took along the way as well. Having the hiking gear provided was great as we had traveled in the night before and could not bring everything with us. We tried poles for the first time and are hooked. We stopped for a snack about midway and were pleasantly surprised. There was something for everyone! The bento box was delicious as well as the packaged snacks. We found some new favorites! At the end of the hike we were offered some cold beverages and took a few more pictures with the scenic red rocks. We learned so much about the area and also learned what is needed on long hikes. Jason was a great storyteller and made the hike so enjoyable. We would use this company again and highly recommend.

We came during a busy season and the trailhead opens at 8 am and does get completely full. 10 minutes before the gate opens there was already a line of cars waiting to get in. They do have a shuttle at a parking lot about an hour away if it gets too busy. Because we didn't have water or food we were only out about a 3 hours and could have easily stayed for two more. The hike starts with stairs and handrails but quickly opens up into not clearly marked paths that feel like you are walking in nature and not on a path. You'll reach Devil's Kitchen quickly and the scale is much larger in person and har to capture via pictures. It's a sinkhole with no barriers around the edge so walk carefully. A lot of people come for the Seven Sacred Pools and if you come too early the lighting isn't that great. If you scramble down to the base of the pools you can walk the dry riverbed back to the trailhead for a different experience

I'm so happy that these trails stay clean, everyone does a great job of leaving it better than they found it.
