Really like this trail, a challenging trail not for the weak of leg. Started our climb at 9am and took us an hour to hike to the peak. Water fountain located at the bottom of the hill as well as dog waste bags. Great views of Phoenix with little areas to rest on the way up.
I got quite upset at people walking their dogs in the heat. Dog owners I can't stress this enough, don't walk your dogs when it's above 74F it's cruel for your dog! If you insist on brining your dog up this mountain do it early in the morning when it's a lot cooler and make sure to bring lots of water.
I'd like to see some of these dog owners walk bare foot up this mountain with a fur coat on in 80 degree weather...
Sorry for my rant, great hike and I highly recommend. I am from Canada so this was a great way to see Phoenix from high up.
