WOW! The most cleanest hiking trail I've ever seen anywhere! Lots of unprepared tourists hiking the mountain as well as residences of Troon. It's not a tough trail, therefore easy on those that never hike. Many of the plants along the trail have informational signs about the plant which is cool if you have never seen a cactus or desert plants. The views are beautiful especially in the Spring with the flowers in bloom. If you have guests coming from out of town and want to experience a hike, an easy one, this is the one to take. It's about an hour from Central Phoenix but worth the drive.
