The Main trail is easy and most of it is wheelchair accessible. Many smaller loops off the main trail are also easy hiking, though not wide enough to accommodate some wheelchairs. Learn more about the Main Trail and read user reviews at AllTrails.com
The High Trail has an all new bridge crossing at the west end, where it meets the Wallace Desert Garden Trail at Queen Creek. The High Trail is a favorite of visitors who enjoy a more strenuous hike. This trail is steeper and more difficult than our other garden paths, and hikers may encounter more snakes and other critters. PLAN AHEAD. Bring water, wear proper shoes, and watch your step!
