THE HIKE

The trail is well defined and pretty easy to navigate; ideal for beginners and solo hikers. From the trailhead, there is a sign that shows the trail route and additional trail information. Either route will do as this is a loop trail and will lead you back to the same place.

The trail itself has various routes helping you craft a trail experience suited for your time and level of expertise. It is a simple and straightforward hike allowing you to enjoy the beautiful desert landscape. At the peak of the hike before you descend back down the loop there is a trail that takes you to Pusch Peak for some uphill hiking and breathtaking views.

The loop was a perfect trail to do with kids - including a six-month-old baby! And going during sunset provides lovely hiking temperatures, mood lighting and stunning views of the city life below.

GETTING THERE

Head North on Oracle Road and a right onto Linda Vista Drive. Keep driving down Linda Vista for a minute and you will reach the trailhead parking lot on your right.

HIKING TIPS

Perfect hike for beginners or solo hikers who don't want to venture to deep into the desert.
Highly recommend to do this during sunset as the views are amazing; if you look closely in the horizon you will see Picacho Peak!
The parking lot has enough spaces for about 6 cars.
