Javelina Canyon Trail does have some beautiful hills and valleys to wander through and it feels down right remote at times. I’ve found Javelina to have less traffic that Beverly as well. Courtesy of hikeandbikephoenix.com

Tacking this onto the beginning and end of a East National Loop ride is highly recommended! Courtesy of mtbproject.com
