This trail area just north of Wickenburg is an undiscovered gem for winter to spring hiking. You will need a high clearance vehicle for the last 1.5 miles which may be why it is less travelled. Sophie's Flat is a 6 mile loop trail that is mostly flat though you will work your legs hiking across the first mile of the trail through the sandy wash. High top boots are recommended to keep the sand out of your socks. If you do the loop counter clockwise, you will start on trail A though the wash which is a geologists dream with a variety of veined granite, some with iron nodules and hunks of red jasper. As you walk out of the wash, views of the surrounding hills covered with cholla, ocotillos and saguaros appear and volcanic outcrops are also visible. On the entire loop we only ran into one other small group of hikers and this was at prime time on a Sunday in February. ATVs and horses will likely be in the area but the hiking trail is separate from the ATV path, though you will cross the path twice. I would highly recommend this trail during spring wildflower season or later in April on a cool day when the cactus are flowering.

Rode the A trail with four horses and it was technical and fun. We went clockwise and was able to find the signs easily to keep us on trail. We'll be back to explore the other trails in this system. Recommend an experienced trail horse for this loop due to the technical difficulty and narrow trails in some sections.

Really pretty area to hike. Just a lot of soft sand and half the trail markers are broken or gone

Beautiful scenery. Very poorly marked trails. If you want to hike the loop, note that there is no sign telling you to leave the wash. The wash continues for miles off to the east, and is mostly deep sand.

We have been here for 3-4 nights and it is now one of our favorite spots! We are down in like a canyon. Quiet with no one else around. Other people are here up on the other side. It's absolutely beautiful! Love the weather here.
