Douglas Spring Trailhead

Wonderful hiking place! You can go for half a mile or 15. I love that you're immediately in the desert as soon as you leave the parking lot. I proposed to my wife about a mile in 23 years ago!

Nice trail with lots of options and side quests. No shade so it’s mighty sunny. Amazing Saguaros and lots of birds and deer.

Great hike and so close to everything. Not to mention the opportunity to see extensive wildlife.

I like this, and the Broadway trailhead a lot. Plenty of space and you aren’t forced to go around the loop. The Douglas Spring trailhead has a variety of trails but leans more towards the moderate to difficult vs the Broadway Trails. I hiked to Bridal Veil falls and it was a good hike and would be challenging for many folks. Lots of steps and a good climb.

Great hike! I got there at sunrise and only had a few other cars in the parking lot. Barely anyone on the trails until my last hour there. Once I got back to the car at 10:30am after doing the Douglas Spring, the three tank, and bridal falls trails, the whole parking lot was full and there were cars parked about a half mile down the road. There is plenty of street parking, just be ready to walk a bit if you get there in the late morning
