This discription is for the Table Mesa trail head which has 1.5 miles (N) out on the Black Canyon Trail to the Little Pan Loop. The Little pan loop will take you down to the Agua Fria river and this loop length is about 6.5 miles. Then you head back (S) on the 1.5 mile Black Canyon Trail to the trail head. If you are not familiar with Arizona mountains then it is a good idea to have a GPS since there are many branch off trails and off road vehicle trails.Bring a comb for removing cactus needles and a few extra tubes. (Slime tubes are worth it)There are additional miles of trails to this sytem with a total of 62. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
