U.S. Forest Service

Agave Trail #173B is a short out-and-back hike located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. This minimal-commitment trail spans just 0.3 miles with only 11 feet of elevation gain, making it accessible for hikers of all abilities and fitness levels. The modest distance and gentle grade allow visitors to complete the route quickly, whether as a warm-up hike, a leg-stretcher during a longer outdoor adventure, or an introduction to hiking in the area. The out-and-back format means you'll retrace your steps on the return, so the total roundtrip covers 0.6 miles. Given its short length and low elevation change, this trail is well-suited for families with young children, older adults, or anyone seeking a leisurely walk through the Arizona landscape. The Forest Service maintenance ensures the trail is kept in good condition for public use.
