What To Expect

South Mountain Park

On this hike you will ascend to an outstanding view of Phoenix, check out ancient petroglyphs, observe rock formations, learn about the Sonoran Desert, and do it all under a beautiful moonlit desert sky. We will meet at the road entering Pima Canyon and warm up hiking on a relatively flat first couple miles before gaining some elevation. We will return to the same starting point at the conclusion of the hike. This is a moderate hike that will cover about 5 miles over 2-3 hours. It will include some steeper and rocky areas. You should have shoes with ankle support, sneakers at the least. Bring water. In the winter bring a light jacket as it can get a little chilly. Depending on the moon a flashlight is not always needed but we will have them just in case.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We loved the hike! Scott, our guide, was very nice, knowledgeable about the area, and made sure we were well taken care of in the extreme heat. The view at the top is worth the hike, especially seeing it an sunset. Would definitely recommend.

We were visiting AZ and had a great time with our guide Scott! Would highly reccomend him to anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors while escaping some of the summer heat. Great city views and informative!
