Route Description for Carroll Canyon Trail
Carroll Canyon Trail is a scenic hike that feels very adventurous without being too difficult. This hike loops around underneath Airport Mesa with awesome views of the mesa and the scenery beyond. This hike is suitable for most skill levels.
It can be easy to take a wrong turn on this route, so we recommend bringing a map or following a GPS track as you go. Bring lots of water as well, and consider a windbreaker if you’re here in the offseason. This route is quite exposed to the elements.
From the trailhead, head right onto Old Post Trail. You’ll take a left to remain on the trail, then go straight through the next junction. Stay left where a spur trail breaks off at the top of the loop, now making your way around the edge of the butte. You’ll head back right underneath Airport Mesa and back to the trailhead.
