I love this trail - it offers a good balance of ease and challenge without dangerous drop-offs, except for near the top of the trail where a sign warns you that travel beyond that point is not recommended -- it is best to heed what that sign says! The trail ascends to a respectable height - enough for a really grand view of much of the east Valley all the way to Phoenix, as well as the San Tan area to the south and the Fountain Hills area and the mountains beyond it to the north. In fact, the tall jet of water from the fountain of Fountain Hills can be seen from the higher part of the trail. Sonoran Desert vegetation abounds along the trail, and this is one of the best areas for viewing springtime blooming of desert wildflowers.
