Confirmed from Camp Beale Loop's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Moderate-to-strenuous trail for hiking, rockhounding and viewing scenery and views.
What runners say about Camp Beale Loop
“Very well marked and great views all around.”
“I went counterclockwise and it was very easy to follow.”
Quick little 3.5 mile loop..no shade, but nice for a morning or evening hike. The trails have been updated lately on the West end, making them much smoother, particularly for Mountain biking. Doggo.went along, but her roaming encountered lots of Choia stickers, so, had to short lease her. Still...
Short hike that moderate in difficulty. Lots of great views of the valley below. If you're in Kingman definitely stop by and do it.
This is a great trail. But wear proper foot wear. It’s over a lot of lava rock and it is a moderate to strenuous hike. They placed benches in areas for resting and views. If you take a dog please be mindful of the rough terrain on their paws. My small Husky did it but it was a little hard on her paws.
If you're taking the back road to Walmart or somehow got lost through this road it's a cool little turn off where Trailhead starts and it looks like they're upgrading it now they actually flatten out the land and make more area available but it's a cool hiking area I remember when it snowed it was the perfect flat…
