Bog Springs–Kent Spring Loop Professional Review and Guide

"This loop takes you far from the desert and into thick and beautiful forests of sycamores, oaks, and pines. Th e Santa Rita Mountains are riddled with springs and streams that provide year-round moisture and support healthy woodlands.

You pass three springs on this trail, at least two of which should have water year-round, but carry drinking water as the spring water is not clean. The streams are somewhat more intermittent, but they’re gorgeous when they flow after snowmelt and after monsoon rains."
