. "5"^^ . . "1"^^ . "Been hiking these hills for about 5 years. My favorite entrance is the main Parking lot, located off Shea & 40th St. (North on 40 till it ends at the lot).\n\nSo many trail choices, so little time! You can easily hike a few minutes on flat terrain, or difficult peak hikes almost up to elevations of 3000'. \n\nI like the fact that, because you can design your own route, it never becomes boring. If you want a 30 mins easy hike, or strenous 3 hour circut, it's all up to you. I generally find that in the early mornings, it's very rare to run into other hikers. (maybe 3-6 in 2 hrs). So, that is a big ~Zen~Factor~ for me.\n\nHere is the exact location and hiking trail map:\n\nhttp://www.phoenix.gov/parks/hikphgud.html"^^ . "0"^^ . "2009-12-06T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . .
