# Easy Hiking Trails in Phoenix ##### Remember to hike safely during the summer months. Find some tips on how to prepare [here.](https://www.visitphoenix.com/sonoran-desert/learn/safety-tips/) New to hiking? These easy desert treks will ease you into the world of outdoor adventure. The city of Phoenix and its surrounding areas are known affectionately as the Valley of the Sun. Valleys are, of course, surrounded by mountains, and the many small mountain ranges around Phoenix provide hundreds of miles of hiking trails for explorers of every skill level. If you are looking for a casual walk through the desert, check out one of these great easy hiking trails for beginners in Phoenix. **Before you go:** Maximize the enjoyment of your hikes and keep yourself safe from the desert's unique hazards with [these safety tips](https://www.visitphoenix.com/sonoran-desert/learn/safety-tips/). ## [South Mountain Park and Preserve](https://www.visitphoenix.com/sonoran-desert/parks/south-mountain-park-and-preserve/) Second only to Camelback Mountain in fame are the trails at South Mountain Park. South Mountain is a city park and preserve that boasts the title of largest municipal park in the country. It has dozens of miles of trails and there are number that are good for beginner hikers. **Judith Tunnell Accessible Trail**: This is a barrier-free trail that makes it easy to get out and enjoy the beauty of South Mountain Park. Hike along and enjoy the interpretive signage then stop and relax at one of the trailside benches. Difficulty: Easiest Distance: One-mile loop **National Trail from Buena Vista Lookout to Fat Man’s Pass**: Drive up the South Mountain summit road to the Buena Vista lookout and hike east along National Trail 1.8 miles until you reach the famous Fat Man’s Pass.

If you are just getting accustomed to walking over uneven dirt surfaces and aren’t quite ready to take on the ups and downs of many trail surfaces, the canal paths are for you. Phoenix’s canal system stretches through beautiful neighborhoods such as Arcadia, and in and around restaurant districts such as the Biltmore Fashion Park and Camelback Colonnade. Difficulty: Very easy Distance: Varies ##### [Canal trails map and info](https://www.srpnet.com/water/canals/distances.aspx) ## Trail 100 at North Mountain Park Visitor Center From the North Mountain visitor center on Seventh Street, venture out on Trail 100 for a casual loop connecting with the lower Shaw Butte trail. This nice wide trail, part of the [Phoenix Mountains Preserve](https://www.visitphoenix.com/sonoran-desert/parks/phoenix-mountains-preserve/), is popular with local hikers, runners, and mountain bikers, so be prepared to share the trail. The trail surface here is more uneven with casual ups and downs through desert washes. This is a great trail to explore if you are trying to increase your hiking fitness and comfort before taking on bigger challenges. Difficulty: Easy to moderate Distance: Approx. 2.5-mile loop ##### [North Mountain Park trails details](https://www.phoenix.gov/parkssite/Pages/North-Mountain-Shaw-Butte-Trails.aspx) ## Trail 8 (L.V. Yates Trail) at 40th Trailhead - [Phoenix Mountains Preserve](https://www.visitphoenix.com/sonoran-desert/parks/phoenix-mountains-preserve/) Beginning from [the trailhead at 40th Street south of Shea Boulevard](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Phoenix+Mountain+Preserve+-+40th+St.+Trailhead/@33.5691831,-111.9977321,1872m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x872b730117218147:0xf7edf8d80a077851!2sE+Shea+Blvd+%26+N+40th+St,+Phoenix,+AZ+85028!3b1!8m2!3d33.5826654!4d-111.9956974!3m4!1s0x0:0xb5c4c3f1a3ba3bed!8m2!3d33.5678868!4d-111.9963911) on the north side of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, take Trail 8 south into the preserve for about one mile. This trail quickly bends behind a curve into a cactus-studded valley where it’s hard to believe you are only a stone’s throw from one of the nation’s largest cities. Trail 8 connects to miles of trails that explore this area, making it easy to create longer and more challenging hikes if you feel ready. Return the same direction. Difficulty: Easy to moderate Distance: Two miles out and back ##### [Trail 8 at 40th St Trailhead details](https://www.phoenix.gov/parks/trails/locations/piestewa-peak/hiking-trail-map) ## Phoenix Sonoran Preserve The Apache Wash Trailhead in Phoenix Sonoran Preserve is one of the newest additions to the city park system's desert preserves. This beautiful wide open landscape in north Phoenix offers a glimpse into the wild desert that surrounds the metro region.

This trail passes through a mix of desert landscapes, including the lush greenery that grows along a dry creek bed, and towering saguaro cacti. Difficulty: Easy to moderate Distance: 3-mile or 5-mile loop ##### [Phoenix Sonoran Preserve trail map](https://www.phoenix.gov/parkssite/Documents/PKS_NRD/Map%20-%20Sonoran%20Preserve.pdf) ## ## [Papago Park](https://www.visitphoenix.com/sonoran-desert/parks/papago-park/) For a classic Phoenix experience, Papago Park is the answer. Here, the red buttes are circumnavigated by a mix of trail and paved paths. Depending where you're at in the park, you can catch views of the [downtown Phoenix](https://www.visitphoenix.com/greater-phoenix/phoenix/downtown-phoenix/) skyline, Tempe Town Lake, the Phoenix Zoo and historic Tovrea Castle - but a sunset hike up Hole-In-The-Rock Trail to [watch the sun set](https://www.visitphoenix.com/stories/post/best-places-to-see-a-sunset-in-phoenix/) is an absolute must. Difficulty: Easy Distance: 0.2 ##### [Papago Park trail system details](https://www.phoenix.gov/parks/trails/locations/papago-park/trail-map) ## Phoenix has so many hikes to offer, there is no shortage of options for beginner hikers.
