Parks & Nature
Not for the faint of heart, the Piestewa Peak summit trail can be difficult depending on your level of physical activity. However, once you reach the summit you can see the entire valley. Do not hike without water, a small snack, and sunscreen. Make sure to only hike in early morning hours during the summer, if at all.
