South Mountain Park and Preserve

Canal Trails
The canals throughout central Phoenix provide some of best easy off-pavement hiking in the city.

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

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
, 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 loopÂ

Trail 8 (L.V. Yates Trail) at 40th Trailhead -
Phoenix Mountains Preserve
Beginning from
the trailhead at 40th Street south of Shea Boulevard
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

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
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
is an absolute must.
Difficulty: Easy
Distance: 0.2
Papago Park trail system details
Phoenix has so many hikes to offer, there is no shortage of options for beginner hikers. No matter which trail you choose, remember to always tell someone where you are going, stay on trail, and bring plenty of water!

New to hiking? These easy desert treks will ease you into the world of outdoor adventure.

**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.

## Canal Trails
The canals throughout central Phoenix provide some of best easy off-pavement hiking in the city. 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

## [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
