"5"^^ . "What an awesome hike. This mountain is an adult sized playground that allows hikers to choose a variety of paths both up and down the mountain. There are paths for people looking for more of a challenge, and paths that are a bit easier. Either way, it's a challenge to get to the top, but what a reward when you get there.\n\nAn unobstructed 360 degree panoramic view that stretches for what seems like 100 miles in every direction.\n\nI was originally hesitant about committing to a hike listed as difficult that is only 2.2 miles round trip, but, after today, I would call this hike a must do for anyone traveling to, or living in Phoenix that is healthy enough to handle some serious up-hill hiking.\n\nAs a bonus, it's not even that time consuming, you can get up and down in less than 2 hours, unless you want to enjoy a little bit more of the summit.\n\nPLEASE! If you have the opportunity, do this hike."^^ . "2"^^ . . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . "2010-01-31T00:00:00"^^ . . .
