Hidden Deep In The Arizona Desert, La Milagrosa Canyon Is One Of The Most Underrated Natural Wonders Around
Arizona has no shortage of natural wonders, but very few remain unspoiled by frequent tourism. La Milagrosa Canyon, unknown to even the most avid of hikers, however, is an exception. This secluded oasis is hidden deep within the desert lowlands, and it deserves a top spot on your outdoor adventure bucket list.

The best way to experience its splendor is via the Milagrosa Canyon Trail, which spans nearly nine miles and ascends just over 1,800 feet.
From Saguaro-covered cliffsides to babbling brooks, there's a nice mixture of sights that renders boredom next-to-impossible.
That means you'll get to revel in the bliss of solitude and feel like you've stumbled upon a secret corner of the Grand Canyon State.
Don't forget to bring a camera!
Despite being in the heart of the desert lowlands, the rock walls boast an abundance of lush greenery from top to bottom.
The hike's length and difficulty are actually blessings in disguise, as you can take frequent breaks to catch your breath and marvel at the eye-popping blooms.
Arizona skies are always showing off, but this spectrum of hues takes it to a whole new level.
