Managing agency

U.S. Forest Service

Grant Goudy Ridge Trail #310 is an 11.6-mile out-and-back hike located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The trail features significant elevation gain of 3,759 feet, making it a challenging option for experienced hikers seeking a strenuous workout. The out-and-back format means you'll cover roughly 5.8 miles to reach the turnaround point before retracing your steps. This structure allows hikers to control their distance and turn back at any point if conditions require it. With nearly 3,800 feet of elevation gain over the full distance, expect steep sections and sustained climbing throughout the hike. The trail offers backcountry access through Forest Service lands, providing an opportunity to explore Arizona's natural terrain away from developed areas. This trail is best suited for hikers with solid endurance and experience navigating elevation gain. The full out-and-back distance and elevation profile make it a full-day commitment. Check with the U.S. Forest Service for current trail conditions and any seasonal closures before planning your visit.
