We drove near to Oracle Arizona to hike part of the Arizona Trail, starting at the American Flag Trailhead heading north, including part of Oracle State Park. 8 miles round trip with an overall of 550 ft of gain.
The trail meanders up and down rolling hills and past some boulder piles and rock formations.
