Our adventure on the Mazatzal Divide made us want to backpack the whole thing - Barnhardt Y Bar Loop
The Mazatzal Wilderness is home to a quiet, unassuming mountain range in the heart of Arizona, and the Barnhardt Y Bar Loop is the perfect way to experience a little slice of it. Along this trail, you’ll find a seasonal waterfall, plentiful wildflowers, plunging verdant valleys, and imposing rocky peaks. A highlight of the trip is the short section of the Arizona Trail that snakes along the contours of the mountain with magnificent views into the distant valleys to the west. If you catch it at sunset, all the better.
