    Route Description for Mescal Mountain Loop Hike

    The Mescal Mountain Loop is an enjoyable hike suitable for all skill levels near Boynton Canyon and Long Canyon. The route is very scenic with both impressive canyons to admire as you hike. This trail can be extended using interconnecting routes if you want.

    From the Long Canyon Trailhead, take Long Canyon Trail up along the east side of Mescal Mountain. Where the route splits, stay left onto Deadman’s Pass Trail. This section of the hike takes you between Mescal Mountain and the hills that lead up to the canyons. It’s a straight shot to the point where Mescal Mountain Trail splits off to the left. Go left here, wrapping closely around the southern base of Mescal Mountain.

    Stay left at the two junctions on this section of the route. This will take you back to the Long Canyon Trailhead, where you can head off to whichever adventure is next.
