John Long is an 8.0-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona. The route features 1,684 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging hike suitable for those with some hiking experience. The trail's out-and-back format allows hikers to turn back at any point, making it flexible for varying fitness levels and available time. The elevation gain is distributed across the hike, providing a steady workout without extreme grade changes. Hikers should plan for a full day outing given the distance and elevation, with adequate time for breaks and photos along the route. The out-and-back design means retracing the same path on the return, allowing hikers to experience different perspectives of the landscape on the way back. This trail is ideal for those looking to gain elevation and distance in a single outing while exploring Arizona's natural landscape. Proper preparation, including plenty of water and sun protection, is recommended for Arizona hiking conditions.
