This is a loop hike with great views of Woods Canyon and Arnett Canyon. There will be about a mile of bushwacking off trail but not too scratchy. Make sure to bring hiking poles. Bring plenty of water and food for a snack and lunch.

Directions:

Drive Felix to Arizona Farms and turn right.  Drive 5 miles to Hwy. 79, turn left and drive 10 miles to US 60 east.  Drive 13 miles and turn right on So. Panther Road.  Drive .5 miles and turn right on Telegraph Canyon Road (at the Fire Station).  Continue on Telegraph Canyon Road for 1.8 miles (your GPS may direct you to the now closed old Forest Road 4 after 1.4 miles, ignore it).  Turn right at the Y onto Forest Road 4, cross a stream and cattle guard and drive an additional .5 mile to the trailhead.
