I'm taking my family on a three-day hike in early September. They're all hiked out on the Cabin Loop this year, and looking for something new.
Loop hike elements are preferred as a shuttle isn't an option. The hikers max out at 8-10 miles a day when backpacking. The sherpa (me) prefers water access.
Suggestions are appreciated.

Mt. Baldy loop. The camping on the West Baldy section along the Little Colorado is nice. There is also a some nice spots on the east side but not sure if the one creek always has water or not.

Thanks very much! The Baldy Loop is a lovely overnight hike and a great suggestion. We were unable to find a three-day to suit our needs to we've opted for a different two-day, the Chiricahua Crest, and will tack on a different day-hike after a car-camp.

Re: Another Three-Day Hike Request
Combine with the https://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=801 and https://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=784 trails through Greer and you can make a 3 or 4 day loop out of all of it.

Re: Another Three-Day Hike Request
As a bonus, you can stop for ice cream on the hike through Greer! How often can you say that happens during a backpack trip.
