Arizona has no shortage of natural wonders, but very few remain unspoiled by frequent tourism. La Milagrosa Canyon, unknown to even the most avid of hikers, however, is an exception. This secluded oasis is hidden deep within the desert lowlands, and it deserves a top spot on your outdoor adventure bucket list.
The best way to experience its splendor is via the Milagrosa Canyon Trail, which spans nearly nine miles and ascends just over 1,800 feet.
From Saguaro-covered cliffsides to babbling brooks, there's a nice mixture of sights that renders boredom next-to-impossible.
