Phoenix Hiking Trail Guide

This site is geared for the average or beginner hikers looking to explore more of the Phoenix hiking trails. We have you in mind when writing the trail write-ups and with explaining the difficulty level.

So to begin exploring please go to the upper right hand corner to “trails to explore”.

We are a brand new website and maps will soon be available of the trails (we just have to figure out how to make them look good and user friendly).  In the meantime, feel free to reach out and we will be glad to send you the GPS/KPX files of the trails that are listed on here. Or if you just want to reach out and say hello, we would love that as well.
