This is my favorite hike in town! I'm not into hikes that require rock climbing and tear up your hands like echo... This hike is challenging enough to provide a good workout without leaving me feeling like I went to war.
The scenery is absolutely beautiful, granted I love looking at beautiful desert landscape, sprawling mansions, and the premier golf courses all at once. The trail and restrooms are immaculately maintained, and parking is never really a problem, although I do try to avoid the weekend crowds.
