Our Top Trails In Each Part of The Valley

Our Top Trails In Each Part of The Valley

West Valley:

White Tank Mountain Regional Park (known as the White Tanks) is in the far west valley. There are a number of hikes ranging in difficulty and this is the only park in this list that has a fee of $6 per car to enter the park. It is located at 20304 W White Tank Mountain Rd, Waddell, AZ 85355. It’s a really pretty park and does have a waterfall when there’s rain.

Central Phoenix:

Phoenix Mountains Preserve is a group of parks around the Phoenix mountains near Piestewa Peak and Camelback Mountain. There are a number of trailheads and the main one is located at 2701 E Squaw Peak Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85028.

South Phoenix:

South Mountain Park is the largest municipal park in the country. The main entrance is located at 10919 S Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85042 in the south part of the valley. There are also trails from south of the range in Ahwatukee, 19th Avenue, and 48th Street. This park has the largest number of trails to choose from ranging from easy to difficult.

East Valley:

Superstition Mountains (known as the Superstitions) is located in the far east valley and in my opinion, is one of the prettiest areas to hike. There are a number of hikes including a difficult hike to the “flat iron.” According to legend, gold is buried in the mountains somewhere, so that may give you added incentive to visit.
