Experience a taste of the outdoors by climbing the 1,000-foot incline to the summit of Phoenix’s most famous landmark, Camelback Mountain. Feeling less ambitious? Hike up Piestewa Peak, where you will be rewarded with stunning vistas of the Valley of the Sun at the top. Head south for South Mountain Park and Preserve, which encompasses a network of trails abundant with native flora and ancient Indian petroglyphs popular with runners, mountain bikers and horseback riders (there’s also a road for less intrepid visitors who wish to explore from the comfort of their car). At Echo Canyon Recreation Area, cinnamon-colored earth, sharp cliffs and a labyrinth of trails will keep explorers busy for hours. Further north in McDowell Mountain Regional Park, trek through the pristine Sonoran Desert under the light of a full moon with one of several tour operators in the region who arrange guided hikes (360 Adventures is one of note; this reputable outfit offers customized tours to just about anywhere in the region).
