Lookout Mountain Loop is a 2.7 mile loop trail located near Phoenix, Arizona that offers scenic views. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking, walking, trail running, and nature trips.
I do this trail about every other day because it is so close and I am familiar with every route. The circumference trail is actually just over 3 miles if you start at the park. There are some challenging inclines especially if you include any of the summits. This trail single handedly got me into loving hiking AND losing weight doing what I enjoy! Very little shade and never crowded!!
Checked out another side of lookout mtn, where the playgrounds and bathrooms are. Very nice and clean. I always LOVE this trail because there are so many random ones you can check out and not get lost. I enjoy jogging along this trail also.
Nice hike, virtually no shade - look out! Trail was not well marked, ended up going off trail onto another trail for part of the hike.
If you want to follow this route, keep the app open and check every junction... there are tons of little trails throughout this area. Nice, undulating stroll around the mountain. It was very green out which made it extra pretty. Wildflowers are starting to pop — gonna be really colorful in a couple of weeks!
Decent trail, has it's ups and downs. Will definitely be back to Mountain Bike it!
