I love this trail, it's especially good for early morning hikes with my dogs. It's not too steep and doesn't require an immense amount of rock climbing at any point... So my little chihuahua and dachshund are able to do it without any problems.\nMy favorite part about this hike, is going off trail, you get great views of the entire phoenix area and you can do some serious rock climbing if you want. \nLike everyone else has said, keep an eye on which way you came from.....you can get lost and it's a pain in the butt trying to find your way back. \nI like this trail cause I rarely see it getting very busy (unlike camelback) and it seems like a peaceful/mild hike. \nDefinitely one I'll be coming back to.
