Parks & Nature
Piestewa Peak represents some of the best hiking Phoenix has to offer. The trail is steep but well-maintained and the summit provides you with views of the entire city. If you aren't up for a summit hike, try the circumference trail, which treks through the numerous cacti and the occasional lizard, quail or roadrunner. But if you go on a weekend, get there early, because this park gets busy fast.
