Suggestions for Hiking Trail near Phoenix

Jennifer C. • February 15, 2013Best place to hike! So many different trails for all levels (including people who don't exercise at all). I've brought international friends here and out of town guests - they all loved it!

Jessi S. • November 13, 2013If you are looking for a relaxing hike, filled with beautiful sites to see, this is the right trail! But, make sure to allot at least three hours if you plan to go all the way to the top.

Chuck C. • June 15, 2015Great paved hike. Short and sweet, great for a date hike. Otherwise try running up for a good sweat.

Kelly N. • February 13, 2013I went hiking here with my boyfriend & dog & it was quite an adventure! It's tucked away & a change of pace compared to Camelback. It was pretty busy on a Saturday morning, but try a weekday.

Tim A. • January 19, 2017Moderate uphill hike with beautiful rock formations and stunning views of the city. Great workout!

Michael M. • November 11, 2010fun workout with friends! would definitely bring enough water, but they also have some coolers to refill at the trails start

Ash P. • December 18, 2013Lots of fun branching trails, rarely used. Few people.

Courtney S. • February 15, 2013I love hiking some of the trails on South Mountain. The one off 24th street is probably my favorite, but you will need someone strong to help you with some parts of it. The trail off Central too.

Joel S. • July 14, 2013Basically a paved/cobbled trail. Good for dates or easy hikes.

Walt G. • November 22, 2013I love hiking Camelback. It is challenging and a great view at the top.

Omar R. • February 15, 2014Stay on the trail lots of wild life around every corner! :-)

Jim L. • May 20, 2015The wildflower season rebounded a bit, but with unseasonably reasonable weather, great place to see everything. Keep your eyes and feet on the trails. A teddy-bear cholla is not fun to hug..
