Heart of Rocks Loop Trail, Mountain trail in Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona, US.

The Heart of Rocks Loop Trail extends for 7.3 miles through volcanic formations, featuring numerous rock steps and natural stone structures along its path.

The trail traverses through geological formations created over 27 million years ago when volcanic eruptions deposited ash that transformed into rhyolite rock structures.

The path winds through territories formerly inhabited by the Chiricahua Apache people, who utilized these mountains for shelter and strategic advantages.

Hikers require 4 to 6 hours to complete the loop, with recommended early morning starts and necessary water supplies for the elevation gain.

The trail passes by multiple named rock formations, including Pinnacle Balanced Rock and Thor's Hammer, which stand as natural stone monuments.
