South Mountain Preserve is just south of Phoenix, AZ. The preserve is over 16,000 acres of protected land right in the heart of AZ.

The mileage for this trail is somewhere between 11.27 - 13.5 --- 4 different GPS trackers all say something between there. All 4 trackers at around 2,000 elevation gain. Took us about 5 hours, averaging 27 minutes per mile.

The views at the top are phenomenal! There are some steep parts you have to breathe deep and just dig in! Definitely bring enough water, snacks and sunscreen!

"The park boasts more than 50 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. Additionally, the roadways throughout the park are a favorite for bicyclists." (*phoenix.gov)
