Rincon Spring Trail #331 is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 3.8 miles in the Safford Ranger District of Coronado National Forest in Arizona. The trail rises about 494 feet from a low point of 4,164 feet to a high of 4,649 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Safford, which sits about 1,500 feet lower, show highs around 73°F in March and 83°F in October. That station's records run warmer than the trail's higher ground, so temperatures on the route tend to run cooler. Several other destinations lie within a few miles.
