Description

Whether used as a segment of a longer hike or by itself, the Telegraph Pass Trail always provides visitors with a pleasant experience and scenic views.

Starting at the Desert Foothills Trailhead, the trail follows a wide, paved path through typical Sonoran Desert flora and fauna before reaching a junction with the Desert Classic Trail. From the junction, the trail heads left, climbing progressively steeper grades on a mostly smooth, albeit occasionally cobbled tread. Finally, the trail ends into the Telegraph Pass Trailhead at a junction with the National Trail.
