"Great after work hike in the north Peoria area. The trail was in good condition but the housing encroachment is getting pretty bad at first, but once you get about a mike into it, it wasn't quite as bad. I generally prefer not so much urban sprawl in my hikes, but given the number of houses in the general area, I had the trail mostly to myself. Which is not a bad thing.

"The trail is a road to the lookout tower. It seemed to just keep going up and up without any plateaus. Nice challenge for an early morning. Very few people on the trail while we were there." — brandydanielson • May 6, 2024
"A classic route, was a lot of fun routefinding in the last 600 vert from the saddle. Easy crack to climbers right of the dry waterfall crux made it an easy class 3 route. Hardest part was avoiding getting pricked by all the prickly pears and other insanely sharp desert plants. I mean, does everything really need to be this sharp?" — scott • Apr 10, 2024
"very easy summit. 300 ft vertical. Post-breakfast hike! Saw snoopy rock and aerial views of sedona from top. Right next to capital butte, making me want to do it. 2/5 Sedona 5 Peak Challenge. " — summit • Apr 8, 2024
"4.7.24~5.3 miles, 1,000’ gain in 1:15hr RT easy jog w/Jimmy. Up in :35min, “down” in :38min. Don’t compare how fast you are with a 56 yr old lady. Your ego can’t be that fragile?
Went to stash Ed some water for his workouts with doggie. " — paula.raimondi • Apr 7, 2024
