Good visitors place. A tourist spot definitely suggested for new people visiting Phoenix. Try taking the trail and hiking. It's really beautiful when it's cloudy and early in the morning. Take pictures with the cactus XD.
Easy to medium trails. Amazing view of the city from top (Dixie summit). There are lots of loops, so better follow trail tracks and signage. One can use Google maps to track the trails and circle back to origin. The place has ample car parking, rest rooms and drinking water fountain facility. Its free and not much crowd. Mountain bikes and pets allowed. Carry good amount of water as usual as trails are longer. One can witness the breathtaking view of valley and newer constructions like TSMC from top.
Beautiful views. Nice walking trails
