Slide Canyon Trail #58

Managing agency

U.S. Forest Service

Slide Canyon Trail #58 is a 15.6-mile out-and-back route located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The trail features 932 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging day hike suitable for hikers with moderate fitness levels. This out-and-back format means hikers will travel the same route on the return journey, allowing for flexible turnaround options if needed. The trail's elevation gain is distributed across the full distance, providing a gradual ascent rather than steep climbs. The U.S. Forest Service maintains this trail as part of Arizona's public lands recreation system. Hikers should come prepared with adequate water and sun protection, as Arizona's high desert environment can be exposed and hot, particularly during summer months. Before heading out, check current conditions with the U.S. Forest Service, as weather and trail maintenance can affect accessibility. This trail offers a substantial workout for a full day of hiking in Arizona's diverse landscape.
