Boucher Trail

The Boucher Trail is a 14.5-mile out-and-back hike located in Arizona and managed by the United States National Park Service. This trail features modest elevation gain of 193 feet, making it accessible for hikers of varying fitness levels despite its considerable distance. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn around at any point, providing flexibility for different experience levels and time constraints. The trail's relatively low elevation gain combined with its length means hikers should plan accordingly for distance rather than steep climbing. Managed by the National Park Service, the Boucher Trail maintains standards typical of protected park lands. Hikers should come prepared with adequate water, sun protection, and supplies for a full day on the trail given its 14.5-mile distance. The modest elevation profile suggests a more gradual, sustained walk through the landscape rather than a steep mountainous climb. This trail suits hikers seeking a longer, lower-elevation experience within Arizona's protected park lands. Check current conditions and any area-specific regulations with the National Park Service before your visit.
