Parks & Nature
South Mountain is the closest mountain for hiking to our house but it can get crowded, especially during the winter and spring months. Avoid the crowds by venturing a little further west to Mormon Loop, a relatively easy hike with good views of the Valley and a good nature escape.

Camelback is the most popular trailhead in the city. We're not huge fans because of how crowded it gets but if it's your first time in Phoenix, it's worth a hike for the great views of the city. Just be aware that you have to park away from the trailhead on the street.
