One of the best desert hikes I have ever done and I hike a lot. It's gorgeous up at the top looking out over Phoenix. There is a 180 degree unobstructed view. The trail is strenuous but fun. I started the hike a couple of hours before sunset and the weather was perfect. I met some nice people too.
It's a great workout and all the worries of the world go away when you get to the top. Enjoy!!!
