  Likely In-Season!
Badger Brawl Trail is another new trail, around 2014, in the Sonoran Preserve-North. The trail itself is 3.4 miles one way. But to get there, you will have to hike a half-mile up the Apache Wash Loop to the start of this trail. When you reach the end of the trail, you will be at 40th street. Now you may be able to park there, but I am not sure.


The trail itself is relatively flat. You will cross several dry river beds, and some are rather broad. I would not recommend hiking this trail after a big rainstorm. It looked like it has flooded in the past. It is an excellent trail for bike riders.

On my February hike, the weather was great. The path only had a couple of people that were geocaching and one bike rider. Lots of green on this trail, with pleasant areas providing shade when you need it. There is no water anywhere, so bring what you need.

Picturesque Saguaros and flowers make this a lovely spring hike. The trail itself is very well-marked and easy to follow. Enjoy!
