Route Description for AZT-Schultz Creek Loop
The AZT-Schultz Creek Loop is an important route in the Dry Lake Hills of Flagstaff, a popular region for hiking and mountain biking. This route is a wonderful adventure that’s suitable for all skill levels. You’ll have mountain views, the river to follow, and big meadows. The wildflowers on this trail in the summertime are splendid, and the scenery is especially pleasant and green after it rains.
Expect to see mountain bikers on this route, so remember to share the trail. Navigation on this hike is easy, and you’ll have lots and lots of shade–this makes winter hiking a bit more treacherous, but hot days will find some reprieve.
From the trailhead, take Arizona Trail-Fort Valley as it meanders north and then northeast aloft the ravine. At the top of the loop, take a right and hike south across the road on Rusty Pipe. Continue onto Schultz Creek Trail and follow the creek all the way back to the trailhead.
