    I do a lot of hiking on the Arizona Trail in my local area (Tucson). Also I enjoy hiking at Saguaro National Park East. Can't wait for it to cool down some so I can get back to the trails.

    My favorite is the West Fork of Oak Creek Trail in Sedona.

    As the weather cools down it is nice that we have some great local hikes.

    If I am with the kiddos I like a place like San Tan Regional Park or The Hieroglyphic Trail(the water at the end is a nice treat)

    If I want more of a challenge I like Camelback or Picacho Peak

    My favorite is the Peralta Trail that leads to a lookout of Weaver's Needle because that is where I proposed to my wife:love:

    In late Fall, winter, and spring, we love hiking all over the Supes(Superstitions) as we are so close. In the summer, we head up north and hike in and around Lockett Meadow, the Zane Grey Trail, and the Arizona Trail. We also enjoy Aravaipa Canyon as an actual backpacking trip, that place is mind blowing!! It`s like Middle Earth in Arizona, especially in November. I never knew Sycamore trees could get that huge :happy:

    Went hiking in Saguaro National Park (east) yesterday. It's about 3 miles from my house so it's a great option. The weather was nice!

    Also try HikeArizona.com for arizona Hiking forums.

    I just moved here last July :) So far I loved Piestewa Peak (thinking about heading out there again in a week or two) and South Mountain (Pima Canyon Trail, specifically). I've hiked other places, but those have been my favorites so far! I typically go hiking with my family (mom, dad, and sister). My parents like the "easier" trails, so we hit up places like White Tank Mountain's Waterfall Trail. It's still pretty fun and the vistas are awesome — wherever we end up going. :smile:

    Typically, I like more of a challenging hike (whether it's because of elevation change, scrambling or the length of the hike).

    You listed all the Hikes I LOVE in AZ. Picacho and Peralta are by far my favorite! Hieroglyphic is beautiful!! Usery is only a few miles from me, i usually end up there (Pass Mountain Loop).

    I hike a ton and love the Superstitions. Flatiron is a favorite. Since I live in Scottsdale, I most often hike in the McDowell's. The loop around Bell Pass and Windgate Pass or up to Tom's Thumb. Love hiking in Yosemite and British Columbia in the summer when it's too hot here.

    I discovered geocaching from this topic :-) Looked it up, tried it and now I am hooked !!! Can't wait to hike and search in Show Low. It is getting too hot down here in the valley.
