Sasquad hikes are selected for their uniqueness, solitude, and honoring local folklore. If you are looking for the most popular hikes, there are plenty of other websites that can help with that. We are looking for the trails less traveled. If you have ideas about hikes that should be on the page, let us know! If your hike is featured, we will send you free merch.
Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Trail
Description
______________
This 2.7-mile, easy, loop is often described as looking like a place from another planet. The beautiful landscape has hoodoos and badlands that make this hike one of our favorites. It’s also a great area to spot fossils in. The hike might have a few other people on it, but if you go during the less busy times of the week/days, you might find yourself alone. There isn’t a well-defined trail, so plan accordingly. Read more.
Gila Cliff Dwellings Trail
Description
______________
This 1.1-mile, moderate hike, is worth a visit. Hikers will see different foliage, impressive rock formations, and 700-year-old cliff dwellings. The cliff dwellings are in good condition and hikers are free to explore them. No food, animals, or flavored beverages are allowed on the trail. Go in the early morning or on a weekday for less people. Read more.
Jordan Hot Springs via Little Bear Canyon
Description
______________
This 7–8-mile hike (depending on the route), takes you through gorgeous scenery with rivers, wildlife, mountains, impressive rock formations, and hot springs. Even though it can be done in a day, camping might be a great option due to the amount of rock scrambling and river crossings hikers have to traverse (campsites are in certain parts of the trail). The river crossings’ difficulty depends on the season and the depth of the water. A soak in the Jordan Spring is a perfect way to relax after the hike out to the spring. This trail can be crowded if you go during peak times. Consider going on a weekday or starting in the very early morning to get the springs to yourself. Read more.
