👍👍 First time hiking here. We went on a weekday and the place was pretty empty - it was perfect for a nice stroll. We did the Marcus landslide trail and really enjoyed it. It is marked as moderate difficulty but is really quite an easy trail. There is some mild inclines here and there but really much e...

Piestewa Peak
Nature preserve
👍 Great vertical hike. I like hikes that are not flat and this one doesn't disappoint. It is about 1100ft elevation gain and is pretty much climbing up stairs or clambering over rocks. Great view of the city at the top. And the pinnacle is amazing. Most mountains don't have such a sharp point for you...

McDowell Sonoran Preserve
Nature preserve
👍👍 Go early! This is a beautiful preserve and it’s very popular. The parking lot is big, but fills up by 9 or 10 a.m. in the cool months. There are lots of different hikes in the preserve, but the main trail is the Gateway Loop, about 4 miles. You’ll definitely work up a sweat, and the trail is rocky (...

👍 Great variety of trails to choose from to run, ride or walk. There is a large parking lot, easy to get in and out of with larger vehicles. The porta potty was dangerously full when I visited but the rest of the park was well maintained and the signage was clear. There are a few benches near the trai...

Maeveen Behan Desert Sanctuary Trailhead
Nature preserve
👍👍 Great place to go for an easy little hike and get lost for a bit. Butts up against the golf course so you're able to peek over at the water while still being in the desert. Came across 1 javelina, 1 bike and 2 one wheel scooters. Everyone we came across was friendly and said hi. Trails seemed pretty...
