Echo Canyon Trail (1.5 hr)- Pros: beautiful red rock scenery, easy parking to navigate with overflow lot, marked trailheads, more shaded areas, never seen rattlesnakes, scorpions, or killer bees on this trail.

Cons: more challenging compared to the Cholla Trail with a consistent rock scramble after the first .5 miles. Going down this route is more challenging on your knees and there are areas that require rope/pole guidance to hoist yourself up/down the trail.

Cholla Trail (1 hr)- Pros: Mild Elevation Gain for the first mile, rapidly increases to a rock scramble for the last .5 miles of the hike. Definitely recommend this way up for more scenic views of the city and more relaxing route down. We have never seen rattlesnakes, scorpions, or killer bees on this trail :)

Cons: The parking is more challenging to navigate since it only offers street parking and the scramble on this side has less guard rails/traction which can make it very easy to slip. In addition to this, once you hit the scramble, the trail is not marked well... so be on the lookout!
