Double Butte Loop and Hole-in-the-Rock Trail in Papago Park

Distance: 2.3-mile loop (Double Butte) and 825 feet out and back (Hole-in-the-Rock)

The smaller two of these beautiful buttes can be explored on an easy dirt loop that starts in the West Park parking lot, accessible from Galvin Parkway. Then, drive across the street to the park’s east side for a quick climb up rocky stairs to peek out from the cave-like Hole-in-the-Rock, a popular landmark (and prehistoric solstice-tracking tool) with views of an oasis and distant city skyline.

Hidden Valley via Mormon Trail in South Mountain Park/Preserve

Distance: 4 miles out and back

This steep trail leans toward the more difficult side of a moderate hike, but if you’re up for the challenge, it’s a must-see for views, desert flora and fun rock formations.

Lookout Mountain Summit Trail in Phoenix Mountains Preserve

Distance: 1.2 miles out and back

In just under a mile on this short trail, you’ll climb more than 450 feet, but the burst of breathlessness is worth the views up top. The summit looks out south over the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, and is a less crowded and more moderate hike than popular summits of Camelback and Piestewa (see the “hard” section for details on these). The trailhead is accessible from 16th street.
