    Route Description for Yavapai Vista Trail

    Hiked alone, the Yavapai Vista Trail can easily be done in 30 minutes or less. It’s a quick out and back route with nice views of the deep ochre ridges ahead of it. More often, the Yavapai Trail is used in addition to other connecting routes to form longer adventures.

    We recommend downloading a map of the area if you want to DIY your own route using the Yavapai Vista Trail. If you’re here for an out and back hike, the trail is short enough that navigation should be no worry.

    The trail begins from the loop road. Keep right onto Yavapai Vista where the Coconino Spur and Kaibab Trail branch off to the left. You’ll cross Kaibab Trail in a few steps, so stay straight. Keep right at the next junction. The trail terminates at the junction with Slim Shady Trail, where you can turn back and retrace your steps to the trailhead.
