Great place for all the north valley residents to head out for a relaxing walk into the nature with moderate hiking. If you choose to head all the way up to the top of the mountain peak then that would serve as a good hike. Loved the 360 degree view from the top. Makes you fall in love with the valley once again. Very well maintained parking spots and restroom available. Wish they had a couple of ramadas at the base station.
Overall a very well maintained getaway for any day hiking. As it has multiple trails/loops you could choose the one as per your interest for that day, time and exercise need.
Great 2 to 3 hour loop trail in north Phoenix. Its peak can be approached from the spur of the Dixie Mountain loop trail that starts from the trailhead. It takes around an hour from the trail head to reach the peak if taking a left turn at the juncture of the trail loop and the trail to the trailhead. It takes around 1.5 hrs from the peak to the remaining loop to return back to the trailhead.
Dixie Mountain Loop is a fantastic hike through and through. Several connecting trailheads in each cardinal direction makes access to the trail very easy. If you’re looking for more of a challenge while on the loop, there’s a couple out-and-back summit trails, including Dixie Mountain, with decently steep elevation changes and rewarding views on top. As this is a large nature preserve, you will be treated to the Sonoran Desert’s beautiful and diverse flora and fauna. Watch your step through several sections, as hundreds of “Teddy Bear” cholla dot the trail, and small bits will break off and end up in the middle of the path. You will also need to watch for snakes if you’re hiking in the early morning or evening, as they don’t care that you need to get by, they’re just gonna lay there anyways. And if you’re as lucky as me, you might even get to meet one of our local desert tortoises. Treat yourself to this fun hike, enjoy the views, and maybe you’ll even find the Jeep wreck 🤔.
Fun hikes around here. Most of the trails are fairly easy but can be made a bit harder by hiking up to the peaks. I went up both peaks on a hike that was almost 6 miles that was quite fun. Beautiful views of the valley. Restrooms are nice and the parking lot is easy access.
We had never been here before but since it was close to our Happy Valley area Hotel, we decided to give it a try. Not too difficult and probably just about the right length(well too long for my wife!)for our 60+ year old legs. We did a combination of two trails, the Hawk and Desert trails. Nice scenery and pretty well maintained. Nice trail head rest area as well.
An amazing mountain to watch the sun set over Phoenix. Nice views even without the sunset
Great trail. Moderate 5 mile loop.
Easy parking at the trailhead. The whole path is full of beautiful scenery and breeze, which is refreshing. Eagles soar in the sky. Like the people on this trail, free and easy.
We did it!!!! Our family of four (including a 4 and 7 year old) made our way to the summit of Camelback via Echo trail. We have troopers for children and we all did our best to respect our fellow climbers on the trail. Before going up we taught the k
This is a great hike! Just south of Central and Thunderbird, the parking is at the end of the road and the trailhead goes straight up. Don't worry about it being too hard. Take it slow and easy and and just knowâeven a 5-year-old can do it. Mine di
