IRA - INVENTORIED ROADLESS AREA

Robinson Mesa is a 22.1-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona. The route features 592 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging day hike suitable for experienced hikers with good endurance. The trail traverses the mesa terrain characteristic of Arizona's landscape, offering extended views across the surrounding desert environment. The out-and-back format means hikers will cover approximately 11 miles to reach the turnaround point before retracing their route. This trail is best suited for those prepared for longer distances and seeking a backcountry hiking experience. Proper preparation is essential, including adequate water supply, sun protection, and navigation tools. The relatively modest elevation gain spread across the considerable distance means the hike is more about endurance than steep climbing. Robinson Mesa provides an opportunity to explore Arizona's high desert ecosystem and experience the scale of the region's open terrain.
