Your review will post soon. There was an error posting your review. The stone stair section is the most taxing up and down.

However, my 6yr made it up to the top; no trouble. Up in 45 mins, down in Wanted to hike here for ages. Nice a gentle, with just 2 steep inclines to challenge my 10yr old and 6yr old girls.

Lookout Mountain Park Preserve Phoenix AZ Hike

The views of the north and west are fantastic; though I preferred north mountain for views of the south and downtown. It was almost consistent traffic between pm! I would suggest going further than the map suggests to get to the flag. However, there are a version of stairs most of the way. This trail is definitely doable for anyone in halfway decent shape. This trail would be more of a moderate hike, the elevation grows at a nice pace. There are not too many hikers and the weather was awesome, on the way down took a little detour through the wild vegetation and it was a great experience.

It looked like it was the wash where the water runs during rain, still a great experience if you are ok with a little adventuring.

It was planned to be a fast paced hike and did a little trail running along with it, the elevation was fantastic, not too hard but enough to really get a great workout. The weather was perfect and the view was beautiful, all in all I would recommend this trail. Novice hiker, but i am in decent shape. I went early in the morning to catch the sunrise at the summit.

Basically, the heli Landing spot is where it gets dicey. Just take your time. I got lost going down a couple times. That was the gnarliest part. Sunrise was great time to hike it. Great feeling to finish this - I am in shape and it was hard great workout and beautiful views.

I suggest not doing this if you haven't done any cardio in a while or you can take your sweet time as there were few stops even a bench half way. Elevation at the peak before the loop is about ft, good workout for kids.
