This is a short, close in hike that starts at the southeast corner of the Saguaro Coop RV Park.  Many Saguaro Coop residents use this hike for exercise and to walk their dogs.  The trail is well used and easy to follow.  The round trip out to the first fence line and back is 2.97 miles.  There is a little up and down but there is little serious elevation change.  The biggest elevation change is right at the beginning of the hike when you walk up to the Benson city water tank.  After that, there is some up and down, but it is mostly level.  The well used trail twists and turns along the ridges as it heads primarily west toward toward the Whetstone mountains.  As one is getting fairly close to the first fence line, an ATV trail enters from the north (the right) and hikers should bear to the left and follow the ATV track.  A little further along the trail a second ATV track heads off to the right and hikers should again bear to the left and and continue heading west toward the Whetstones on the ATV track.  At the point of the second ATV track junction, the barbed wire fence is very close.  Once at the fence, hikers wishing to complete the out and back 2.97 mile hike should turn around and return on the trail they just traveled.  On the return, hikers should bear to the right at both places where the ATV tracks angle off to the left.

There are no toilet facilities at the trailhead.  The nearest public toilet facilities are in the clubhouse of the Saguaro Coop RV Park.
