Hiking: I am still updating this portion of the website
Here are trails in the Phoenix Area. I have been to all of these trails myself and these are my own reviews. If you see a number 10 is the best or most difficult and 1 is easiest and not very exciting.
i.e.
difficulty: 10
review: 5

i.e. this trail is hard but somewhat interesting

Check out the maps link and the trail guide link on this page.
