Secret is a 5.2-mile out-and-back hike on natural trail in the Chino Valley Ranger District of Arizona's Prescott National Forest. It rises from about 4,934 feet to 6,143 feet, a gain of about 1,209 feet, and is rated hard. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land, and the trail allows horses and bikes. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Williams, AZ, show October highs around 67°F with lows near 36°F, while May runs about 71°F. That station sits higher than the hike, so temperatures on the trail may run a little warmer. Government Canyon starts just 0.1 mile away, and Yew Thicket and Henderson are both within about 3 miles. The Overland Road Historic Trail lies roughly 4.3 miles off.
