Treasure Loop is an easy out-and-back hike in Arizona, about half a mile from the town of Youngberg. The route is 4.7 miles long, with a one-way climb of about 466 feet from a low point of 2,097 feet to a high of 2,630 feet. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically November and March, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 76°F to 77°F and lows near 50°F. That station sits about 560 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the loop run a little cooler. Quail Loop Trail is just 0.3 miles away, and Mountain Bike Trail is about half a mile off. Prospectors Trail #57 lies roughly 0.9 miles away. For climbing, Suction Gully is about 1.1 miles from the loop.
