About
The Mail Trail is a 17.1-mile out-and-back hike located in Arizona. With 1,462 feet of elevation gain, this trail offers a moderate challenge for hikers seeking a longer day adventure. The out-and-back format allows you to turn around at any point, making it adaptable to your fitness level and available time. This trail is ideal for those looking to log significant mileage while enjoying Arizona's landscape. The elevation gain is spread across the route, providing a gradual climb rather than steep pitches. Hikers should plan accordingly for the full distance and bring adequate water, as conditions in Arizona can be hot and dry. The Mail Trail accommodates various experience levels, though the length and elevation gain suggest it's best suited for hikers with some endurance. Starting early in the day is recommended to maximize daylight hours and avoid hiking in darkness on the return trip.
