We live in Laveen and usually hike South Mountain park. Today we drove out to Estrella Mountain Park and hiked Rainbow trail, to Dysart trail, to Toothaker for a roundtrip 4.5 mile hike.
I was impressed with the well maintained trails and the trail markers. I guess when citizens pay $6 per car/$2 to hike in, we all get a nicely maintained park.
Since this was our first visit, we asked for a map and for suggestions on trails for which the attendant highlighted his suggestions.
We look forward to exploring more trails.
