Wind Cave Trail #281

Beginning at the Wind Cave Trailhead, this trail almost immediately crosses the Pass Mountain Loop Trail #282 and proceeds through the Tonto National Forest boundary fence. It ascends gradually for 0.5 miles, but the remainder of the trail is steep and strict attention should be paid to footing. The return trip is over the same route.

Attractions:

• As hikers ascend the hillside, panoramic view on the southwest can be scene.
• Wind Cave Trail offers many examples of Sonoran Desert flora.
• With appropriate precipitation, the mountain slopes showcase many colorful spring wildflowers.
