Bulldog Canyon 3512 - Apache Junction, AZ
Share
Bulldog Canyon in Apache Junction is a fun area to explore. There are a ton of trails but this one is 3512. This is an out and back trail that comes to a definitive dead end. The entire time you’re surrounded by beautiful desert landscape. Saguaro cacti are everywhere! This trail is fairly rocky, but I wouldn’t consider it overly bumpy. For my build, this trail was extremely easy with nothing to worry about. There is one rocky climb that is the hardest part of the trail, but that didnt slow us down at all. My dad, who has never offloaded, went up it with zero issue. There are some great views of the superstition mountains, especially on your way back to the staging area. This is a great, relatively short trail in the Arizona desert. I have a few buddies that are beginners, that I want to bring back here!
