Hiking, biking and amazing views of the Phoenix area. If you’re looking for some fresh air, this is a good place to check out.

South Mountain has many trails for all levels of hikers. Parking can be tough during peak season, so we recommend an early start. Be sure to bring water and wear sunscreen. Turn around when you have finished 1/2 of your water!

Endless trails for outdoor activities.

Start your explorations at South Mountain Park, where steep hairpin turns and steady rising elevation leads you to Dobbin's Lookout, a popular overlook offering incredible views of the whole city. This is a great and scenic attraction that doesn't require any spending.
