Do you want to go out for a hike in Phoenix? If you do, here are some hikes that you shouldn't miss.
Double Butte Loop(环线)and Hole-In-the- Rock Trail in Papago Park
Distance: 2.3-mile loop and 825 feet out and back(Hole-in-the-Rock)
What can be a better way to have a look at the amazing red sandstone formations(岩层)of Papago Park than hiking around(and inside) them? The smaller two of these beautiful formations can be explored on an easy dirt loop that starts in the West Park parking lot. It can be reached from Galvin Parkway. Then, drive across the street to the park's east side for a quick climb up rocky stairs to look out from the cave-like Hole-in-the-Rock, a popular landmark.
Blevins Trail in Usery Mountain Regional Park
Distance: 3-mile loop
It's a quick 3-mile sunset hike. You can see a lot of different kinds of cacti(仙人掌), some deer and rabbits! Superstition Mountain never gets old and, in my opinion, it is super impressive at sunset.
Waterfall Trail in White Tank Mountain Regional Park
Distance r 1.8 miles out and back
Different cacti, ancient carvings(雕像), wide paths and rocky formations along this easy trail provide the beauty of Sonoran Desert. Seeing the waterfall at the end of the trail is rare, but possible if you come after a rain. You need to pay 8 6 for parking the car.
Judith Tunnell Accessible Trails in South Mountain Park/Preserve
Distance: 5-mile loop
This trail includes two half-mile loops that start near the South Mountain Environmental Education Center's parking spots. The Interpretive Loop offers educational words about the surrounding desert life. The Challenge Loop is slightly difficult.
