Old Caves Crater Trail  

This 2.4-mile route is perfect for a day trip with the family.  Pack a lunch and spend some time exploring the caves before heading back home.

Fat Man’s Loop

Don’t let the name fool you; you’re sure to get your exercise on the 2.5-mile trail.  The trail gets its name from a tight squeeze between the boulders along the trail’s path.  You’ll enjoy splendid views of Mt. Elden’s lava cliffs and Doney Park.

Lamar Haines Loop

For a trip that’s a little less lengthy, head out to the Veit Springs Trail and Lamar Haines Loop.  There are plenty of little places to explore along the way including the site of Ludwig Veit’s cabin, in addition to rock pictographs and other natural wonders.

Trek to the Top of Slate Mountain

The trail is a little longer than five miles round-trip, but the view at the top makes it all worthwhile.  Once you reach the summit, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the northern rim of the Grand Canyon, San Francisco peaks and Kendrick mountain. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a picnic lunch with the kids before your return trip.

Red Mountain Trail

Ever seen a natural amphitheater? You’ll enjoy exploring one along the Red Mountain Trail. If you have small children, be ready to give them a boost at the short ladder you encounter just before the end of the trail.

Exercise can be a fun family event with one of these day trip adventures to explore some of Arizona’s natural wonders.
