Managing agency

United States National Park Service

North Canyon Trail is a 15.7-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona and managed by the United States National Park Service. The route features minimal elevation gain of just 65 feet, making it accessible for hikers of varying fitness levels. The gentle grade makes this an ideal option for those seeking a longer distance hike without significant climbing demands. As an out-and-back route, hikers will follow the same path returning to the trailhead, allowing for flexible turnaround points if desired. The trail's length and low elevation change make it suitable for a full day hike, with the option to adjust the total distance by turning back earlier. The National Park Service manages this trail, ensuring it is maintained as part of the broader park infrastructure. Before heading out, check with the managing agency for current conditions, any seasonal closures, and specific regulations that may apply to this trail system.
