(There are two entrances right after you get off the I-17. The one that is a little further north is the one I am referring to). As soon you go past 2 stone pillars there is a large gravel lot just to the right. There is a large info board to the west of the lot. The trail is on the east side of this parking lot.
The trail is easy to follow and gave me a nice opportunity to jog in the pines. Very mild elevation change made this possible. Trail was nice, but not very remote. Pretty much throughout I was aware of the sounds of the freeway in the distance, (though I couldn't see it). I could see the fairgrounds and assortment of buildings for about half the hike. Having said that, I did see deer during my run.
There is at least one other trail out there, but I am unsure how it interacts with Soldiers Trail.
Sidelight: The reason I was in Flagstaff this weekend was because we were celebrating my daughter's 16th birthday  . And to do that we took her to Flagstaff Extreme Adventures. Ironically, this is located in the EXACT same area as Soldiers Trail. Two hours after jogging this trail I was back, and in the trees with my family doing things I never thought I would be doing two feet off the ground, let alone 40 feet off the ground. We all had a fantastic time and I couldn't be prouder at how well they all did. The hike was nice, but the experience at FEA was one I'll never forget. |
