Carrie & I set our sites on this hiking location on another wonderful Arizona winter day. This trail is heavily traveled by all kinds of hikers/runners. It is not a loop trail so you hike to the end then turn around and hike back for a total of 3.5 miles. It took us 2 hours 15 minutes. The trail is very smooth and well maintained. Lots of beautiful scenery to look at on this trail. You can see Troon Golf Course, some really amazing multi-million dollar homes and of course the natural habitat of the trail/mountain. Make sure you pace yourself on this trail as going in is easier than hiking out. Save some energy as you will need it for those switchbacks that your hiked down on the way out. There are a couple of wonderful lookout points that point out the surrounding mountains throughout the valley. I highly recommend this trail to the novice/beginner hiker as a great way to break into the world of hiking. Have fun and be safe!
