There’s plenty to love about Arizona, but among the best parts of Grand Canyon State life is the plethora of incredible hiking trails. From lush forest groves to rugged badlands and everything in between, we truly get to enjoy it all. Douglas Springs Trail, located within Saguaro National Park, features natural staircases and a gorgeous hidden waterfall. Check it out:
Whether you're in the mood for a full-blown backpacking trek or a quick and easy stroll, Douglas Springs Trail is easily among the most versatile hikes in Arizona.
Don't let the number freak you out, though, as the ascent is gradual. The path leads up a series of natural staircases, flattening out enough in between for you to catch your breath.
From a birds-eye perspective, however, where the hustle and bustle is nothing but a distant memory, sweeping panoramic views showcase our city in all its glory.
As we mentioned previously, Bridal Wreath Falls is about six miles into the hike.
