Route Description for Twin Buttes and Broken Arrow Loop
The Broken Arrow Trail is a classic for hikers, mountain bikers, and OHV-ers thanks to its stellar scenery. Combining this route with the Twin Buttes Trail makes for a stunning hike with some exhilarating sections. You’ll walk right on the edge of a canyon rim and get your legs working on a few short ascents.
This route isn’t the best choice for young kids or those who dislike heights. A part of the route follows right along the edge of a rim, so you’ll need to be surefooted to complete it safely. Additionally, bring plenty of water and plan for the hot desert sun if you’re hiking between May and October.
Beginning from the end of the road, hike down to where the trail splits. We recommend doing the loop clockwise as it’s easier to ascend the steep sections than try and downclimb them. Stay left onto Broken Arrow Trail, taking a moment to peer down into the 90-foot Devil’s Dining Room sinkhole. Stay right where the Broken Arrow Spur splits off and then loop around to the right onto High on the Hog Trail, which has great views. Stay right onto Twin Buttes Trail, which will take you back to the trailhead.
