Greetings fellow hikers!
Two experienced Minnesota backpackers seeking recommendations on 4-day hike in Arizona September 20-24 (arriving in Phoenix Saturday AM, departing Wednesday PM). 30-40 miles. Been looking at Tonto, Superstition, Sycamore, and Red Rock, but open to all suggestions.
Must-have:
- Within 3-hour driving distance from Phoenix
- Accessible Trailhead (rental car - no extreme off-roading)
- Beautiful Arizona scenery
Nice-to-have:
- Loop hike
- Water sources
Don’t-want:
- Backcountry Permit lottery
Reward: will buy you a drink at establishment near trailhead
All suggestions greatly appreciated - Thank you!! |

Your ideas have merit, but have you considered the Canyon?
On the return - The Roadhouse; Bellemont, Az.
No lottery - Most certainly you can procure some itinerary for those dates. (I can help if needed) _________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
