Hog Heaven #125D is an easy out-and-back hike of about 1.6 miles in the Red Rock Ranger District of Coconino National Forest in Arizona. It gains about 65 feet from the low point at 4,397 feet to the high at 4,573 feet, which makes it a short, low-effort outing for anyone wanting to stretch their legs. The route sits within the Coconino National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. Bikes are allowed, while horses are not. The trailhead is at a parking area called Mystic, and the climb is gentle enough that it pairs well with other stops in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sedona put April highs around 75°F and October highs around 79°F, while June and July average in the mid-90s. The Twin Buttes and High on the Hog mountain biking routes are just a fraction of a mile away, and the Blowjob Rock climbing area is about 0.4 miles off. For an overnight stay, Chavez Crossing campground is about 1.2 miles away.
