The Davenport Trail is a 21.8-mile out-and-back hike located in Arizona. This trail features 2,857 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging option for hikers seeking a longer day hike or backpacking opportunity. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn around at any point, providing flexibility for those wanting to adjust their distance based on fitness level or time constraints. The trail's substantial elevation gain is distributed throughout the route, offering gradual climbs rather than steep pitches in most sections. At roughly 11 miles to the turnaround point, the full hike provides a full day of hiking with rewarding views and terrain variation. This distance makes it suitable for experienced day hikers or those considering an overnight backpacking trip. The Davenport Trail is ideal for hikers looking to escape crowds on a less-trafficked route while still experiencing significant elevation and distance. Whether completing the full 21.8-mile loop or hiking a partial distance, this trail offers a solid workout in Arizona's diverse landscape.
