The trail to the right takes you to the summit but the trail to the left, just past the “bees warning” sign takes you to the cave! Carefully walk around the cliff for about 15 seconds and you’ll find it! Please remember that it was once a sacred sight and should still be respected – always leave no trace. Note: There are bees in the cave! Use your best judgment when exploring.

The trail winds you through the desert and takes you up to a massive rock formation that looks like a wave! This is a super memorable hike that provides stunning desert views and fantastic photo opportunities .  While this is definitely the best hike in Phoenix, it’s quite challenging and easy to get lost.

This is a magical place so if you visit, be sure to treat it with respect and don’t forget to get a permit to visit.  I had to include this trail on my list of best hikes near Phoenix, but it is a tough hike . There is no water and little shade for the first 3.75 miles of the trail, and summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees F.

If you visit in the winter, you’ll definitely want to bring long layers and warmer gear but if you visit in the summer, you’ll want light sun-blocking layers and plenty of water.  No matter what time of year you visit, there are a couple of basics I recommend for hiking in Phoenix: Hiking shoes  Hiking in Phoenix means lots of loose rocks and sandy sections so sturdy hiking shoes are a must. Since hiking in Phoenix can get pretty hot, I prefer a lightweight hiking boot with a good grip .  If the weather is warm enough and the trail flat enough, I love hiking in my Tevas! These ones feature soft heel-strap padding and durable, grippy soles to keep you comfortable while exploring the outdoors or downtown Phoenix. Merino Wool Socks Over the years, I’ve learned that the socks you wear hiking are just as important as the boots! I love hiking in these merino wool socks because they are great for preventing blisters and keeping your feet cool and dry.   Sweat-wicking clothes No matter the weather, I always get hot and sweaty when I’m hiking in Phoenix ! For that reason, I prefer hiking in moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester because the fibers keep the sweat on the surface and transport your sweat to the outer layer of your shirt. Once there, the sweat evaporates! Water bottle You will need to pack a reusable water bottle or water bladder for hiking in Phoenix . Since it can get quite hot (no matter what time of year), it’s important to bring plenty of water and drink it throughout your hike. Trail snacks for hikes in Phoenix It’s super important to fuel your body when you are hiking, especially when you are hiking in the desert! I love to snack on fresh and fruit, protein bars, and rehydrate with electrolytes!  Sunscreen + sun protection Phoenix gets a lot of sun. Sunscreen and polarized sunglasses are essential for your hikes!  Sunhat If there’s one thing I don’t ever go hiking in Phoenix without, it’s a sun hat! If you’re looking for a recommendation, I love this hat from Sunday Afternoons ! It looks great on everyone, keeps the sun out of your eyes, and isn’t too hot on the head so you can wear it hiking all year round!  Hiking Backpack If you’re bringing your 10 essentials, extra water, snacks, your camera, and layers, you’ll need a hiking backpack to carry it all in! Here’s my current favorite hiking backpack for day trips – I love that it comes with a hydration bladder!  Leave No Trace When Hiking In And Near Phoenix While you are visiting Phoenix and beyond, please be sure to practice the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace (LNT). These guidelines are easy-to-understand and help minimize your impact on the outdoors. Here’s a brief overview of LNT:   Plan Ahead & Prepare Planning helps you be prepared for the conditions of your adventure and ensures the safety of yourself and others . Be sure to look at maps, check the weather and know the skills of yourself and the people in your group.  Travel on Durable Surfaces When you spend time outside, your main goal should be to explore with minimal impact or damage to the land, waterways, plants and animals. Staying on the trails, and traveling on surfaces that withstand the impact of your travel (rocks, sand, snow, etc.) are all ways to do this. Pack It In, Pack It Out The amount of litter I see on trails is heartbreaking (crying emoji). Please be sure to dispose of your waste properly to make everyone’s experience in nature more enjoyable! And waste includes your poop. Digging a cat hole and burying your toilet paper or using a Kula Cloth is a great way to leave no trace! Leave What You Find As much as we love to bring home cool rocks and pick flowers, it’s important to leave nature as you found it . Stacking rocks or carving your name into a living tree causes damage and only encourages others to do the same. Respect Wildlife You are likely to come across a lot of wildlife when hiking near Phoenix, including rattlesnakes, road runners, coyotes, and more. For everyone’s safety, it’s important to respect wildlife – after all, you are in their home! Give them their space and don’t feed them . Be Considerate of Other Visitors Everyone in nature is just trying to enjoy their visit. It’s SO important to be courteous to others because when people are out in nature, they want to listen to nature. Excessive noise, wild pets or a trashed campsite take away from the appeal of the outdoors . Final Thoughts on the best hikes in and near Phoenix I hope you enjoyed learning about my favorite Phoenix hikes and are inspired to take a trip of your own!

If you want to explore the **hidden cave on Camelback Mountain**, it’s located near the top (about 0.80 miles), at hiking post \#20. The trail to the right takes you to the summit but the trail to the left, just past the “bees warning” sign takes you to the cave! Carefully walk around the cliff for about 15 seconds and you’ll find it! Please remember that it was once a sacred sight and should still be respected – always leave no trace. Note: There are bees in the cave! Use your best judgment when exploring. ![Hidden cave in Camelback Mountain Echo Canyon Trail Phoenix](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==) **Trail Length:** 2\.5 miles **Elevation Gain:** 1,420 ft **Route Type:** Out & back **Difficulty:** Hard **Kid-friendly:** No **Dog-friendly:** No **Parking:** There is a large parking lot with bathrooms at the trailhead. **Facilities:** Flush toilets and water fountains **Fee/Permit:** No [Echo Canyon Trail on AllTrails](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/arizona/camelback-mountain-via-echo-canyon-trail) ### Eager to hike in Phoenix?

Even though it is described as difficult, I’ve seen entire families (except dogs) complete this trail!

The trail winds you through the desert and takes you up to a massive rock formation that looks like a wave! This is a super memorable hike that provides stunning desert views and **fantastic photo opportunities**. While this is definitely the best hike in Phoenix, it’s quite challenging and easy to get lost. There are steep climbs, a rocky descent, and decent elevation gain.

Located just 45 minutes outside of Phoenix, this gorgeous trail leads to a large cave with great desert views!

It contains collections from many of the world’s deserts and is definitely worth a visit if you are in Phoenix. The Arboretum has 4.7 miles of trails throughout, and if the gardens aren’t enough, the surrounding mountains are absolutely stunning. **This is a great place to bring the whole family** – I recommend hiking the Main Trail and the High Trail, which crosses a suspended bridge. **Trail Length:** 1\.5 miles **Elevation Gain:** 131 ft **Route Type:** Loop **Difficulty:** Easy **Kid-friendly:** Yes **Dog-friendly:** Yes **Parking:** There is parking at the park entrance. **Facilities:** Flush toilets, water fountains, benches, gift shop **Fee/Permit:** There is a fee to enter the park.

I had to include this trail on my list of best hikes near Phoenix, but **it is a tough hike**. There is no water and little shade for the first 3.75 miles of the trail, and summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees F.

If you visit in the winter, you’ll definitely want to bring long layers and warmer gear but if you visit in the summer, you’ll want light sun-blocking layers and plenty of water. No matter what time of year you visit, there are a couple of basics I recommend for hiking in Phoenix: ### **Hiking shoes** Hiking in Phoenix means lots of loose rocks and sandy sections so sturdy hiking shoes are a must. Since hiking in Phoenix can get pretty hot, I prefer a [**lightweight hiking boot with a good grip**](https://alnk.to/8iQuGVD). If the weather is warm enough and the trail flat enough, I love hiking in my Tevas! [**These ones**](https://bit.ly/3UmUcRi) feature soft heel-strap padding and durable, grippy soles to keep you comfortable while exploring the outdoors or downtown Phoenix. ### **Merino Wool Socks** Over the years, I’ve learned that the socks you wear hiking are just as important as the boots! I love hiking in [**these merino wool socks**](https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=e295c418-295a-447c-b265-734e25f82503&website_id=58c583b0-843b-4456-9937-82224c568b07&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F159260%2Fdarn-tough-bear-town-micro-crew-socks-womens) because they are great for preventing blisters and keeping your feet cool and dry. ### Sweat-wicking clothes No matter the weather, **I always get hot and sweaty when I’m hiking in Phoenix**! For that reason, I prefer hiking in moisture-wicking fabrics like polyester because the fibers keep the sweat on the surface and transport your sweat to the outer layer of your shirt. Once there, the sweat evaporates\! ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==) ### Water bottle **You will need to pack a reusable water bottle or water bladder for hiking in Phoenix**. Since it can get quite hot (no matter what time of year), it’s important to bring plenty of water and drink it throughout your hike. ### Trail snacks for hikes in Phoenix It’s super important to fuel your body when you are hiking, especially when you are hiking in the desert! I love to snack on fresh and fruit, protein bars, and rehydrate with electrolytes\! ### Sunscreen + sun protection Phoenix gets *a lot* of sun. Sunscreen and polarized sunglasses are essential for your hikes\! ![what to wear hiking in phoenix, arizona](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==) ### Sunhat If there’s one thing I don’t ever go hiking in Phoenix without, it’s a sun hat! If you’re looking for a recommendation, I love [**this hat from Sunday Afternoons**](https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=el&merchant_id=e295c418-295a-447c-b265-734e25f82503&website_id=58c583b0-843b-4456-9937-82224c568b07&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rei.com%2Fproduct%2F185820%2Fsunday-afternoons-islander-hat)! It looks great on everyone, keeps the sun out of your eyes, and isn’t too hot on the head so you can wear it hiking all year round\! ### Hiking Backpack If you’re bringing your 10 essentials, extra water, snacks, your camera, and layers, you’ll need a hiking backpack to carry it all in! Here’s [**my current favorite hiking backpack for day trips**](https://bit.ly/3e6UifJ) – I love that it comes with a hydration bladder\! ![](data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==) ## Leave No Trace When Hiking In And Near Phoenix While you are visiting Phoenix and beyond, please be sure to practice the [Seven Principles of Leave No Trace](https://www.nps.gov/articles/leave-no-trace-seven-principles.htm) (LNT). These guidelines are easy-to-understand and help minimize your impact on the outdoors. Here’s a brief overview of LNT: ### Plan Ahead & Prepare Planning helps you be prepared for the conditions of your adventure and **ensures the safety of yourself and others**. Be sure to look at maps, check the weather and know the skills of yourself and the people in your group. ### Travel on Durable Surfaces When you spend time outside, **your main goal should be to explore with minimal impact** or damage to the land, waterways, plants and animals. Staying on the trails, and traveling on surfaces that withstand the impact of your travel (rocks, sand, snow, etc.) are all ways to do this. ### Pack It In, Pack It Out **The amount of litter I see on trails is heartbreaking** (crying emoji). Please be sure to dispose of your waste properly to make everyone’s experience in nature more enjoyable! And waste includes your poop. Digging a cat hole and burying your toilet paper or using a Kula Cloth is a great way to leave no trace\! ### Leave What You Find As much as we love to bring home cool rocks and pick flowers, it’s important to **leave nature as you found it**.
