As residence, Arizonians are lucky to have a climate that allows for outdoor recreational activities on a year round basis. Among some of the tourist and resident attractions, are the vast hiking and biking trails our Valley offers. Camelback Mountain is one of the most popular; it is a little challenging for the beginners so bring your water and take a break if you need to. Papago Park Mountain is another less intense experience, as well as “A” Mountain, located near the ASU campus. If you prefer a cooler climate, you are just over an hour away from some of the most gorgeous red rock and natural landscaping in Sedona. Payson and Flagstaff have several different hiking and biking trails, as well. Popular mountain biking trails are spread out throughout the state. South Mountain Trail (Phoenix), Dynamite Loop (Scottsdale), Charles M. Christiansen Memorial Trail (Phoenix), Oak Creek Canyon Trail (Oak Creek Canyon), 50 Year Trail (Oro Valley), North Rim Loop (Jacob Lake), Chapel Rocks Loop (Sedona), Mount Lemmon (Tucson), Pemberton Trail (Scottsdale) and Desert Classic Trail (Tempe), are all among the best places for mountain biking in the state.
Camelback is an amazing hike. It is a little rough at some points but when you get to the top, it's absolutely worth it!
ReplyDeleteYes Camelback is amazing, very scenic because it is right in the middle of the city. It takes a good few hours, I like the thought of doing it in the morning.
