This park has one of my 2 favorite trails in Phoenix. The other is at South Mountain. I love the steep incline while walking towards the peak that looks over Arrowhead Lakes. I like how clean the park is.
My first trip up here was on Veteran's Day. It was a nice surprise to get to the top only to see a flag waiting up there.
Walking down can be a bit tough at times. But the way the trails connect, you can pick and choose your route far easier than some parks.
It is not as scenic as some places but is a great combination of interesting, offers a "modular hike", a nice workout, and the lakes are at least an interesting view for Phoenix.
