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.

Brian B. • August 2, 2019There are many hiking trails in the South Mountain area and they don't have much elevation gain. Perfect for families and desert scenery. Bring LOTS OF WATER and be mindful of the heat.
