Table of contents

The Pima Wash and Beverly Canyon Loop is an easy hike in Phoenix’s South Mountain Preserve. This route is just under 2.0mi long and sees moderate traffic. You can also enjoy this hike as-is or use the connecting trails to add some distance if you want to keep exploring. This route is especially nice when the wildflowers are in bloom and there are some big, squat cacti to see beside the trail.

Route Description for Pima Wash and Beverly Canyon Loop

The Pima Wash and Beverly Canyon Loop provides you with the great scenery of Phoenix’s South Mountain Preserve without the crowds that more popular trails can bring. This hike leads you through a pretty canyon at the far northeastern end of the preserve. Look for desert wildflowers if you’re hiking during peak bloom times. The trail is obvious and easy to follow.

If this route is shorter than you’d like, you can continue past the top of the loop or use one of the other connecting trails to keep hiking. Download a route guide if you’re interested in exploring the area. Remember to bring lots of water with you and don’t hike in the heat of the day. Hikers with dogs, please remember to keep your pets on a leash as there are very frequent coyote sightings in this area.

From the trailhead, take National Trail on your left. Follow this along the base of the ridge, taking a right onto Beverly Canyon Trail. This return trip follows the ridge base on the other side of the canyon. We recommend taking a look at your GPS track to find the right turn off Beverly Canyon Trail as not all of the junctions are well-marked on this hike. Get onto Pima West Loop Trail and follow this trail back to the trailhead.
