We hiked about 6 miles in the Lost Dog Wash area this morning. We did a leisurely pace as it was already warming up at 6am, but we planned ahead with water and a couple of bananas. It was lovely and peacefully. Even though there were several parties hiking we never saw any of them. It was the perfect way... More

Hiked this loop on an early morning at a leisurely pace in about an hour and a half. Although I didn't work up too much of a sweat because I hike fairly frequently in AZ, if you are from out of state and are not acclimated to the Phx weather, then make sure you do this hike well before it... More

A nice loop with some breathtaking views gave us the workout we needed. Go early before the sun gets too hot.

The views are spectacular, the volunteers very helpful, good maps, well marked trails, clean trails of every difficulty, nice restrooms, and fellow hikers are friendly. Pets are welcomed too. Enjoy this... More

This makes all the difference to me. One word of advice is to go early. There are many beautiful shady spots to rest but for the full experience you... More
