Summary: A hike to a very distinct rock formation
Challenge Level: Moderate
Hiking Distance: About 4 3/4 miles round trip
Trailhead Directions: There are two trailheads for this hike. We parked at a trailhead on Pebble Drive. From the "Y" ( the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive south on SR 179 for 7 1/4 miles and turn left on Jack's Canyon (go 270° around the 3rd round-about in the Village of Oak Creek). Drive for 0.3 miles and turn left on Suncliffe Drive. Follow Suncliffe for 0.6 miles until it intersects Pinon Woods Drive. Turn right on Pinon Woods Drive and follow it until it intersects Pebble Drive. Turn left on Pebble Drive and follow it for 0.1 mile to the trailhead. Park on the road..
The other trailhead parking is off of Jack's Canyon Road. Instead of turning on Suncliffe Drive, continue on Jack's Canyon for another 1 3/4 miles. Turn right on to an unpaved road and park here. The trail is across Jack's Canyon.
Description: The Rabbit Ears formation is near the Village of Oak Creek. It's a moderate hike that takes you to some very scenic areas. We hiked a loop which is best done with a portable GPS unit. There are very interesting rocks along the trail.

For those of you who have a GPS unit, I have GPS data available for the hike which include "tracks," the route and waypoints.
