4 phoenix hikes to save for cooler weather 🌵🥾 🥾 “ 4 phoenix hikes to save for cooler weather 🌵🥾

🥾 “a” mountain / hayden butte — ~0.9 mi | easy–moderate
a short but steep climb right in tempe with views over downtown, asu + the surrounding valley. perfect when you want a quick workout or sunset hike.

🥾 fat man’s pass via national trail — ~3.7 mi | moderate
this south mountain hike feels like a mini adventure! you’ll hike through rocky desert terrain before squeezing through the giant boulders at fat man’s pass.

🥾 camelback mountain via echo canyon — ~2.5 mi | hard
one of the most iconic hikes in phoenix — and definitely the toughest on this list. expect a steep climb, scrambling, handrails + a serious workout, with panoramic valley views from the summit. start early and bring plenty of water! a cave too!

🥾 hole-in-the-rock at papago park — ~0.3 mi | easy
a super short walk to a natural opening in the red sandstone with views over the valley. great for sunrise, sunset or an easy outdoor stop when you don’t have much time
some nights you just have to get out of the city a some nights you just have to get out of the city and chase the full moon 🌕🏜️

for good moon photos/videos on your iPhone, click on the screen until the sun appears, and drag it down to reveal moon features! if you have a newer phone, the 4-8x zoom is perfect.

i took my @urbanarmorgear case along for this little desert adventure because i love the color & of course that it’ll protect my phone every time i drop it (because i always do!). if you’re looking for a case for your new phone, i highly recommend!!

here’s to finding more reasons to go a little further ✨
