Camaro Loop

Route Description for Camaro Loop

The Camaro Loop is a wonderful easy trail for hikers and mountain bikers. It’s mostly flat with lots of interesting cacti to admire on the side of the trail. We like it for an evening nature walk with family since it’s so beginner-friendly. Dogs are also allowed to join you on this trail if they’re kept on leash, but just watch their paws as there tends to be broken cactus bits on the side of the trail.

Although the trailhead for this hike is on S Cactus Wren Ave, there’s better parking on W Irvington Place, so we’d suggest using that approach. Cactus Wren is also a bit rough, so those taking small cars might have trouble with it.

From the trailhead, go right onto Camaro Loop Trail. You’ll soon pass the Irvington entrance and cross a wash. At all junctions on the loop, simply stay to the inside (left if you’re going counterclockwise as this guide suggests). Enjoy the low peaks around you and the desert plants beside the trail. You’ll want to keep an eye out for mountain bikers and share the trail if you encounter them. The loop will return you directly to the trailhead.
