Every time I visit the Phoenix Zoo there's always a great view of the mountains and trails of the park. When I parked I drove all the way To the closest parking lot to the hole in the rock. The trail is pretty steep, but very short and an amazing view. At 7am the weather is just perfect. You are able to fish at the lake, there are bathrooms, wildlife, and also just up another small mountain is Hunts Tomb. It's great for a family day with picnic tables and horse shoe games.
