Embark on a moderate hike along the Ceballos and Arizona Trail Loop, a 7.8-mile (12.6 km) journey through the Kaibab National Forest. You will gain 478 feet (146 metres) in elevation over an estimated 3 hours and 22 minutes, experiencing varied terrain. As you hike, you will traverse forested areas with towering pines, offering both shade and scenic views, especially around the Jacob Lake and Nature Trail area.
This loop is easily accessible, making it a convenient option for a day out. Parking is likely available near the starting point, so you should have no trouble finding a spot for your vehicle.

It is a great way to explore the area, whether you are staying nearby or just passing through.
