Have you seen the Phoenix sign carved in the Mountain when you fly into the Valley?  Well this is the place.

Great new hike.  Has the distance, views and a little elevation.









We took the clockwise route of this loop trail.  Easy except for a few slippery spots.  If you don't like that type of terrain bring poles.  Otherwise very nice desert hike.




Huge Saguaro

 Beautiful views of Fountain Hills, 4 Peaks and Superstitions.





SNAKE! (with a Knife)
I think my GPS is off.  Although we did get off the trail and walk the street at the end. 





Will Come back to do the Wind Cave trail which is very popular. 

Hike #1 Done!
