Managing agency

U.S. Forest Service

Bull Pass Trail is a 3.1-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The route features 274 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderate hike suitable for most fitness levels. This trail offers hikers an opportunity to explore Arizona's diverse landscape while remaining accessible in terms of distance and elevation change. The out-and-back format means hikers will retrace their route, with a turnaround point at Bull Pass. The moderate elevation gain is distributed across the 3.1-mile distance, providing a manageable ascent for day hikers. As a U.S. Forest Service-managed trail, Bull Pass Trail is maintained as part of Arizona's public lands recreation system. The trail's proximity to the Arizona region makes it convenient for both local and visiting hikers seeking a shorter day hike option. Before heading out, hikers should check with the U.S. Forest Service for current trail conditions, seasonal closures, and any specific regulations for the area. Standard hiking precautions, including bringing adequate water and sun protection, are recommended.
