2.2 mile hike with 1,100 ft in elevation gain. Provides beautiful views of North Phoenix/Scottsdale and Cave Creek. Trail is fairly well groomed and is never terribly busy. No restrictions (that I know of) on time of day, making this a great hike if you'd like to go before sunrise or after sunset.
Be prepared for a generally steep climb for the entirety and climbing over larger rocks in some portions, as is common for most Phoenix hikes.
Comparable to Echo Trail on Camelback which is 2.4 miles and 1,400 ft elevation gain.
