Arizona Trail: Oracle (Passage 13). Rating: C. Pace: Moderate [56, 07:30 AM, $5]. From the American Flag Trailhead the route proceeds in a northerly direction across National Forest Land and State Trust Land, crossing Webb Road and continuing to Oracle State Park. The trail is marked with 4x4 inch wooden posts with the Arizona Trail brand. About halfway through the park it reaches Kannally Wash and windmill. Water is available from a faucet at the windmill. A freshly constructed singletrack contours to the west and northwest until reaching a culvert under Highway 77. It passes through the culvert and stops.  Our hike does not continue on Old Tiger Road for the last 1.5 miles to the Tiger Mine Trailhead. This will be a key exchange hike. Hike 7.2 miles; trailhead elevations 4416 feet south and 4066 feet north; net elevation change 435 feet; accumulated gains 950 feet northward and 650 feet southward; RTD 41 miles.
