The first and last 5 miles are on the relatively easy but sometimes rough Battle Axe Road. The actual 10-mile Walnut Canyon loop is VERY rough, rocky with plenty of washouts. due to some steep sections with tenuous traction, I would only recommend a short-wheelbase high-clearance 4x4 vehicle with a rear locker. The beginning and end of the Walnut Canyon loop is at: 33.15028 -111.09315
