I Great hike. Trail in very good shape. Great views at top. Glad we did it as a loop. Ruth did great.
Really nice trail, easy to follow, only a couple people on the trail today.
Trekking poles help a ton! Steady incline, we got the hard part out of the way and went counterclockwise on the trail. Made for an enjoyable cool down walk on the way back. Pack lots of water! You are close to the road so on the lower portion of the trail, you can hear the traffic on kenney rd but most of the drivers aren’t noisy. Take binoculars to get a good look over the beautiful views. The desert museum is visible from many areas of the trail. There’s a variety of cacti and tons of gorgeous saguaro to see too! Great for beginners that are looking to take it to the next level.
Spectacular. I love this trail. It starts out steep then levels off. Then is sneaks in 2 more steep uphills before coming around to the flat ending. Great variety of desert plants, gorgeous views.
