Gooseneck Trail #112 is an 8.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. This route is ideal for hikers seeking a relatively flat experience, with only 19 feet of elevation gain across the entire distance. The minimal elevation change makes this trail accessible to a wide range of fitness levels and suitable for those looking for an easier day hike without significant climbing. Being an out-and-back trail, hikers will retrace their route on the return journey, allowing for flexibility in how far they want to venture before turning back. The full 8.3-mile distance provides a moderate commitment for a day outing, though hikers can adjust their turnaround point based on time and energy available. The trail is maintained by the U.S. Forest Service, ensuring it receives regular upkeep. This Arizona trail offers an excellent option for hikers seeking a low-elevation hike with straightforward terrain in the region.
