Bureau of Land Management

Bird Trail is a 2.9-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The route features minimal elevation gain of just 22 feet, making it accessible for hikers of varying ability levels. The gentle terrain and relatively short distance make this an ideal option for a quick outing or family hike. The trail's low elevation change means you can focus on enjoying the natural surroundings without demanding physical exertion. Being an out-and-back route, you'll retrace your steps on the return journey, allowing you to experience the landscape from both directions. As this trail is managed by the BLM, it's maintained as part of Arizona's public lands system. Before heading out, check current conditions and trail status, as desert terrain can change seasonally. Bring adequate water and sun protection, as Arizona trails are typically exposed. The modest distance and elevation gain make this a manageable option for those looking to explore Arizona's backcountry with a lower commitment of time and effort.
