What are some awesome hiking trails with waterfalls in Arizona?
Arizona may be home to lots of desert and desert flora/fauna, like cacti and cliffs and all sorts of wonderful things, but it’s also home to plenty of amazing waterfalls, most of which are accessible to the public, even if it takes a bit of a hike. Some of our favorite hiking trails with waterfalls in Arizona (some of which are seasonal falls and/or rain-dependent) include the amazing Hieroglyphic Trail in the Superstition Wilderness. This amazing trail is moderately difficult and is 2.8 miles long; it’s got amazing wildflowers on top of the seasonal waterfall that’s best viewed following a good rain. There’s also the Bear Canyon to Seven Falls Trail, which you’ll find nestled in the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area and is rated as moderated. That one’s longer, at 8.3 miles, and it’s also great for birdwatching. You’ll also love Water Wheel Falls, within the Tonto National Forest, and Fossil Creek Falls is unreal in its beauty.
