Tips:
- Bring water, LOTS of it
- There will be NO shades at all since it's all cactus and no trees -- wear a hat and lots of sunscreen
- I took the Echo Canyon Trail: lots of scrambling, you may have to use your arms to hoist yourself up, so bring wet naps!
- There is a parking lot but it filled up when I got there around 11AM (I walked there so I didn't need to deal with that)
- It's a short but steep hike, give yourself about 1.5 hrs to get up there and take pictures and eat a snack
- Straight forward path, you won't get lost
- There are a couple of sections that have railings for you to hold onto
- Hike early morning or later when the sun isn't as strong
- ENJOY THE VIEW! Highest point in Phoenix, you can see the city... I loved it!
