Chuck V. • February 13, 2017It's a great place for urban hiking. Check out the maze!

Kelly N. • February 13, 2013I went hiking here with my boyfriend & dog & it was quite an adventure! It's tucked away & a change of pace compared to Camelback. It was pretty busy on a Saturday morning, but try a weekday.

Walt G. • November 22, 2013I love hiking Camelback. It is challenging and a great view at the top.

Jim L. • May 20, 2015The wildflower season rebounded a bit, but with unseasonably reasonable weather, great place to see everything. Keep your eyes and feet on the trails. A teddy-bear cholla is not fun to hug..

Travis C. • February 15, 2013Phoenix Mountain Preserve is a great place to hike in the Valley and provides a good alternative to the often busy Camelback mountain during peak season.
