Rupp Trail

The Arizona Cypress Trail begins at its trailhead (see “Access” below) by the old borrow pit and goes southwest over the level, sandy ground of a closed jeep road beside Dry Creek. At .7 miles, it intersects the south end of the OK Trail and continues southwest for another half mile where it meets the end of the Dawa Trail. Here, the Arizona Cypress Trail turns southeast and continues .7 miles to its end at the Girdner Trail. There are nice views along the way.
From its trailhead, the Dawa Trail goes south a short way before bending to the west along a closed jeep road with some good views. It meets the Cockscomb Trail at .9 miles and turns sharply southeast to follow it for 100 feet. The Cockscomb Trail then splits off to the southwest and the Dawa Trail continues southeast for .8 miles before ending at the Arizona Cypress Trail beside Dry Creek.

The Cockscomb Trail goes south from its trailhead along a jeep road for .3 miles, bends west for .2 miles, then goes southeast along a closed jeep road skirting the face of Doe Mountain. It intersects the Dawa Trail at 1 mile, turns to the southwest, and ends at 1.8 miles near the Cockscomb.
From here, the Cockscomb Trail continues along the old road as the Rupp Trail. It bends to the east and there are nice views all around as it crosses a broad, open expanse before ending at 1.2 miles as it drops down into the Dry Creek drainage and meets the Girdner Trail.
The OK Trail is a short connector which can provide variety in making up various routes.
