Miles & miles of trails & so close to the city. This is a great place to go if you want to get away for a day. There are trails easy enough that you could bring some kiddos with you. I did see a few trail runners also, so if you're looking for some dirt this is your place. We were here in March when all the cactus were blooming, so it was really quite prettying. Love seeing all the giant cactus, which are what I tend to see in my mind when I think of AZ. We got some lovely pictures & even saw a Mojave Green rattlesnake! He went right across our path & was definitely not timid, scared us half to death actually. So, if your in AZ and don't have the time to make it to the Grand Canyon or some of the other large parks this is an easy place to get to for some hiking just outside Phoenix.
