| - Fantastic! It took us four tries... My hubby tried looking for it before I arrived and was pointed to another mountain by a police officer. Second time, we ended up driving up the residential area and that just made us felt small, we did end up watching the sunset though. Third time, found the parking lot, but a long line of cars... Fourth time, got their 8 in the morning, waited (yes, there was a wait) for about five minutes, parked, and started our hike. We bought two bottles of Gatorade with us in a plastic bag, I blame that on my husband. Our plastic bag was full of holes with two big knots when we made it to the top. Up was good for me but down was a bit scary, just didn't really trust my flat running shoes. Didn't think we will climb a mountain while in PHX, but definitely go - people are super nice and it was alot of fun. Don't be scared about the rating, it really is not that tough.
There is another trail, longer but less climbing, not sure where it starts though...
The addy is the intersection of McDonalds and Echo Canyon.
