The used to be called "Squawpeek" is one of my favorite hikes whithin Phoenix! I actually speed hike and jog up and down the mountain on a timer which makes it interesting for me. The last 10 minutes up the mountain are the most intense but making it all the way to the top is rewarding,- awesome view! More

Great 360 views of the valley. Parking is difficult to find during peak times. Views are great if it isn't hazy. We went on a hazy day and the views were okay. The hike is a short distance but with a good climb. More

This is a wonderfully invigorating hike. The elevation gain is very steep and rapid at 100ft. every 1/10th of a mile. The total gain is 1200ft But the pay-off at the summit. is worth all the pain-a spectacular 360 degree panorama of the Valley of the Sun! Be warned on the way down. Because of the steepness of the descent... More

Changed in a wave of political correctness, based on bad history and poor scholarship, the name was changed to Piestewa Peak.

This climb is a must for locals seeking to get in shape for the Grand Canyon or whatever. It's very busy and sometimes seems like a super highway in overdrive! Parking can be an issue too! But - the views are to die for. More

It's a very popular place. One of the trails we hiked had amazing views from the top. The trail wasn't overly strenuous but there were a few places where someone might be a bit scared if they didn't like hikes, but overall this is an easier hike than Camelback Mountain. there were no "rock scrambles" and there really was a...

This hike was amazing. We did the summit hike, even though we weren't sure we could make it. The views are incredible and so so worth the test of endurance. We saw the Payson Hotshots (firemen?) training while we were there, which was pretty impressive to see them doing what we were doing without stopping, and while carrying gear, and... More
