👍👍 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...

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...

New River Nature Reserve

🫤 Nothing against this place but if you rely on Google Maps to bike north of Phoenix to Black Canyon City or points north you'll get directions that take you through this bike-unfriendly dirt road that eventually crosses a small stream with largish rocks that definitely can't be ridden over. Hope this...
