Easy trail, good for family hiking.
Beautiful hiking trail with gorgeous views. Lots of balloons launching the day we hiked. From the trail parking it’s maybe 1/8 mile on sidewalk until you cross the road and enter the trail proper. Then it’s about a quarter mile along a winding dirt path scenic gully between two parts of the neighborhood until you reach the mountain. The trail was fairly rocky and steep, especially the difficult route that goes directly to the top. The views north and south to the surrounding mountains, including a long stretch of the Central Arizona Project canal from Lake Pleasant to Phoenix, are worth the climb! Just don’t touch the plants. My son said one get like fire coral before his hand went numb. ?
Good hike but not many tails.
'Twas a wonderful Thanksgiving morning hike!
Beautiful Mountain views. The trailheads are located inside or nearby the surrounding neighborhoods. Need luck to find the entrances.
