This 6.6 mile loop connects four different trails. It starts and ends at the parking lot for the Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area in Cave Creek, and about half of the hike is in the conservation area. The other half is in the Tonto National Forest.

I did it clockwise, so it ends with the multiple stream crossings; I think this would be nice on a hot day. Some prefer to do it anti-clockwise.

As you can see from the video, the trail is quite overgrown right now (early March). You will probably want to wear tough pants. Otherwise, quite easy to follow (I only lost the trail once). Luna Dogface rates it moderate.
