Reavis Ranch Trail is a 16.5-mile lollipop loop located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The trail features 2,172 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging hike suitable for experienced hikers. The lollipop configuration allows hikers to follow an out-and-back route before completing a loop section, offering varied scenery and the option to turn back at different points. This trail design is popular for those seeking flexibility in their hiking experience. The elevation gain is distributed throughout the route, providing steady climbing with opportunities to experience changing terrain and vegetation zones. The trail passes through forest service land, ensuring access to well-maintained hiking infrastructure managed by federal authorities. Reavis Ranch Trail is ideal for hikers looking to spend a full day in the Arizona backcountry. The combination of distance and elevation gain requires proper preparation, including adequate water, navigation tools, and fitness level appropriate for longer wilderness hikes. The trail offers a rewarding experience for those prepared to handle its full distance and elevation profile.
