Tortilla Trail #254

Managing agency

U.S. Forest Service

Tortilla Trail #254 is a 13.8-mile out-and-back hike located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The trail features 2,718 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately strenuous option for hikers looking for a substantial day trip. As an out-and-back route, hikers will retrace their steps on the return journey, allowing for flexibility in turnaround distance if preferred. The elevation gain is distributed across the trail, providing a consistent climbing challenge throughout the hike. This Forest Service-maintained trail is suitable for hikers with moderate to good fitness levels. The full 13.8-mile distance with the associated elevation gain typically requires a full day of hiking, so plan accordingly with adequate water, snacks, and daylight hours.
