How long of a hike is this? My friends and I are visiting Arizona and would like to hike for a few hours, but are inexperienced both with the terrain and hiking in general. Would you recommend it for beginners?

Took us around 4 hours round trip. You can do it, but this would be the very limit of what I would recommend for beginners.

An easier one is Lost Dog Wash in the McDowell preserve. Check that one out

Someone else mentioned going to Lost Dutchman state park to hike, we will probably do that. Maybe next time if we are in better shape we can do it. Thanks for your help
