Excellent hike for all levels! This trail has 2 directions to access the top of the mountain. The rear (counterclockwise direction) route utilizes a paved access road around the back to the cell towers at the peak. The front clockwise direction is more challenging for the less able-bodied. Filled with several switchback trails that gain several hundred feet in short order.

Great area for hiking except for the snakes starting to come out. But overall it's good. I see people doing double triple hikes. Great motivation for listening to I am affirmations

It was a beautiful place for a wedding! We were at the Yavapai site. You can reserve the location in advance, and there is no cost for the site. Bathrooms are clean, the covered tables kept the sun off, and everything turned out great!!! If you are planning an outdoor wedding, this is the place to go.

I have loved this place for years and will keep making memories as long as I can. At times it seems like I'm the only person here it's such an awesome place especially when the full moon comes up it's breathtaking. The rangers have been watching over me god bless them they have enough to do yet have been making sure I'm ok not many would care for this old woman they are very special to me and God bless them I told them my hopeless homeless situation and why I'm here enduring this scorching heat. 60 homeless disabled and widowed living in my car with 2 cats. I didn't feel judged. Thank you, North mountain Rangers God bless and keep you safe.

This place is absolutely beautiful and naturally if not super naturally charming. Arrive with favorite from friends and enjoy the setting sun, you can do a good upward hike or find a spot to sit and chill. Saw a hawk and was intrigued by the geologic unique- ness of some of the terrain . Brings to minds the myths of giant trees that once dotted this land..pic of my beautiful friend visiting from Seattle

Love this scenic hike! Best time to go is at sunrise, the view is breathtaking and the wildlife is an exciting plus!

This place is unbelievable. There are some many trails to choose from. The Rangers are so nice and helpful. Do not pass this place up. The views are worth the people. One smile will get you 2 or 3 back.

This is my happy place!!! ☺️ At 2,104 feet above sea level, the hike is challenging but absolutely worthwhile, and the views are so incredible!!! Feels like being out in the desert even though it's right in town. The hills block a lot of traffic noise, and sometimes I take off my earphones just to listen to the silence ❤️❤️❤️. Also, there is a lot of wildlife in this park. So far I've seen a dead raccoon (!), bats, kangaroo rats, rock squirrels, chipmunks, cottontails, quail, roadrunners, and of course, SCORPIONS!!! They usually only come out at night during summer (they hibernate in winter), and I enjoy carrying a black light flashlight to observe them - and also to know where they are so I can keep a respectful distance! 😆 One time not five feet away from me, two javelinas emerged from a culvert and commenced climbing the hill. There are also rattlesnakes, coyotes and birds of prey in this area so a lot to watch out for! During warmer weather (April-October), please make sure to bring a lot of water, as people often underestimate the heat and end up in trouble. To avoid the hot sun in the summer, people flock to the park around sunset so I feel perfectly safe climbing the hill alone, even at night. One more thing: most park restroom stalls have no doors, apparently for children's safety. The restrooms are locked at 5, 6 and 7 so if you don't find one open before 7 pm, keep looking. Update: last year I saw 0 snakes. This year, so far I've seen at least 4! One of them was a rattler.

Great morning weekday hike. We always walk from our place on 12th St, but there's always open parking if you need to drive. Dog friendly too, which is nice in the cooler months. It's takes us 15 minutes to the top, keeping up a good pace, but could be a nice slow hike too.

One of my favorite hikes. It’s a steep one, but the paved road helps. And if you take trail #44, you get a nice mix of both. Beautiful views all around!

Perfect hiking trails to see the sunrise/sunset.

There are 2 different parking lots, the second lot closer to the path has some benches with covers and 2 portable bathrooms. The path going to the pavement is a little rough and has lots of rocks. Pet friendly, the view at the top is beautiful.

Penny Howe Trail is a nice stroll through the mountain on a freshly paved path. It's listed as .5 mile but it feels even faster. This is a great option for strollers or wheel chairs. The playground is a short drive away (or could walk it). It's pretty basic and a bit rusted, but just fine. Bathrooms are easy to get to and covered picnic tables are abundant.

This is a great hybrid hiking spot. What I mean by that is when you take the mini hike up, it is not paved, but once you get to the paved area, it goes all the way up and down being paved. You don't have to worry as much about your footing, which is nice since it is like the street. There are many other spots for hiking trails, too, if you want that instead. We even found a secret spot that takes you off the paved area, which was kind of cool. Definitely check it out. It's a great high intensity incline workout if you want it to be.

This is a great park with a 45 minute mountain hike, with a paved side and rocky trail side. Both paths lead up to towers with fantastic views. The hike may be short but is steep, and perfect for quick workout and mediation after work, or weekends. In addition there are walking paths at the base, and pavilions for meetings or events, such as family BBQ

Not an easy hike - make sure to have appropriate shoes - but some pretty sights to make the trail sweeter. We visited because we were nearby, but would not have gone out of our way.

I went hiking here with my sister while she was visiting. We did trail #44 North Mountain National Trail, and I was fairly certain it was going to kill me a couple times, lol. Once we got to the top there were great views of the city. We continued on with the trail the rest of the way around. It was pretty challenging, and kind of unstable at some points with all the loose rock. Overall, a good challenge on a beautiful day.

I call this The Never-ending Trail. I believe it was trail 44. If you want to get a good workout in, this is the mountain for you. Not the hardest I've done but when you think you've reached the top, there's more to come. It ends off where the Towers are, then you can continue down a winding paved road. And the view at the top is spectacular!

I love hiking this mountain in Phx because it's not too hard but pushes me just enough! If you hike from the visitor's center to the very top, it gives you a nice warm-up and the rest of the hill is paved. The views are absolutely worth the hike, and it's faster getting to the top than Shaw Butte (in my opinion)!

Fell in love with this mountain. First time venturing here with my middle son. We had sooo much fun and met some cool people throughout the path

Great place for hiking as long as it's not during peak hours. Enough trails to choose from depending on your fitness level and / or if you want a leisure hike or more of a workout. 🚶‍♂️

Beautuful view today. Liked the .8 loop walk around the road to the ramadas. Picnic tables were taped off, playground open, trails crowded sunday afternoon. Restrooms clean except for one.

Trail 44 is a bit rough to start but the view is so worth it! Make sure you high five at the top

Excellent local park. It is worth traveling to. Nice hike up a 600 foot peak. One trail is a road for the radio towers so it's accessible for a wide variety of people.

Great place for hiking. Good place for mountain biking. Restrooms and drinking fountains. Lots of trails to explore. Plenty of trails to climb. Find something new every time.

It’s a great place to hike around. Its like 2-3 mile hike. Limited parking space available.

One of the best place to go hiking and still be able to practice social distance

We had a picnic today. All the little chipmunks that joined us were so entertaining. Very clean. Beautiful scenery. Bathrooms were very well kept

I love hiking North Mountain Park. The only think I don't like that they close the parking lot really early... Just FYI if you park by the locked gate you will get a ticket

Beautiful tons of parking . Awesome hikes check it out for sure just go early if in summer

Always great! They just recently reopened the paved part of the mountain. So if you still want a long hike but easier I would try out that side. Or what I do is I do the hard trail then take the paved down Happy hiking!

Beautiful and has several different options for exercise and fun! They have several bathrooms, a playground, a wheelchair accessible nature path, and several good hikes that take you to higher points for wonderful views! You can also walk or bike the circular drive that loops around the park - .8 miles around.

Great workout. All uphill! Paved most of the way.

Great place to hike! All different difficulties of trails available. Plan ahead by looking at the maps and bringing lots of water as it can be easy to get lost if you're not paying attention.

Christmas day on 2020,got a pleasent surprise of little over night rain and walking with the dog in the mountain, air feel so fresh and uplifting . Thank God for that gift

There’s a paved way that you can walk and there’s also walk or bike the circular drive that loops around the place.

Beautiful hike parallel to 7th St. Mostly quiet, you only hear traffic for a few moments. Some trails are too difficult for children.

(Translated by Google) It is very safe and clean (Original) Esta muy seguro y limpio

This place is Amazing!! You get to hike on a trail with rocks and gravel and go up a mountain!!! Amazing!!! They even have a trail with pavement, wow!!!

Beautiful Hike

Easy but challenging beginner hike. Good place to have a picnic or take your dog for a walk. There's usually always parking which is hard to find at most hiking spots here in AZ

Great place to just escape Defined recommend Follow my Instagram : ridiculousangel

Beautiful views and great sunset. You can choose to follow the trail or the paved path.

Excellent incline + great view = perfect hike.

Great park to hike, many different types of trails

Awesome for good walking and hiking trails.

Beatiful place to hike with the family

Trail 44 is awesome, but short. Plenty of Pokestops here, too.

Favorite. Great work out!

Luv walk-in , good air not to crowded !!😇

Great hiking trail💪🏽

Great for family with lots of trails to walk or ride.

Great place to hike

They have water fountains hope they are pure water

Great trail to burn off those calories and work on my footwork

Been hiking here for years. The trail on 7th st is the best.

I think it for MTB and trail running. A decent amount of trails and not as pack as other spots in Phoenix.

An epic.

Absolutely breathtaking views of the valley up here! Trails for every one from beginner to advanced hikers. I've been in the Valley for almost 20 years and I just now found this place!! Man I wish I had found it sooner, but, I'll definitely be a frequent wanderer for as long as I can wander! 😉🥰

I recently visited North Mountain Park, and it was a wonderful experience. The park is a great place to connect with nature. The hiking trails are well-maintained and offer beautiful views of the surrounding area. It's a peaceful, serene environment perfect for a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike. The park also has picnic areas, making it a fantastic spot for a family outing or relaxing outdoor meal. North Mountain Park's natural beauty and tranquility make it a must-visit for nature enthusiasts and anyone looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

I had a blast at this park! It's super pretty with trees, trails, and a cool playground. I had a fun time hiking and the picnic area was awesome. Great spot for a chill day outdoors with family or friends!

It’s a great place for a short hike.
