Not every hiker can handle a long, rugged trail. For the rest of us, a shorter paved or boardwalk trail is the best way to enjoy the natural outdoors. With the ease of access and not much hiking involved, the focus can stay on the scenery and the wildlife around you. Bookmark the Bonita Creek Loop for a future hike and nature adventure.

Welcome to a slice of Arizona beauty, a trail called Bonita Creek Loop out at Chiricahua National Monument. For fans of shorter hikes who still love beautiful scenery, this small boardwalk hike is the perfect mix.

This little loop trail is only 0.3 miles long, which doesn't sound like much but is plenty for non-hikers to enjoy. Not all of us have the stamina for long trails, after all.

This little trail is partially boardwalk and partially paved for ease of access. Thankfully, there are plenty of photo-worthy angles even on such a short trail.
