Description

Added by Laura Clarke

This is a great hike in the Estrella Mountains in the Goodyear area and is for any skill level.

Baseline Trail is a 2.4 mile moderately trafficked loop trail. This trail features lovely wild flowers and is rated as intermediate. You can use this trail not just for hiking but you can also use the trail for running as well as mountain biking. On the trail you are allowed to bring your furry friends but they must be kept on a leash at all times. I suggest to be very careful out there during snake season as they like to come out and warm up in the sun. Baseline Trail is available all year round but it's recommended to go from March until October.

Hike Goat Camp Trail

This is one of the less traveled trails in White Tank Mountain Regional Park. If you're looking for a solid day hike in the west valley, try this one. It isn't a loop, but it ultimately connects with some of the other long trails so if you're up for a long hike, you have options. This starts from the Goat Camp Trailhead and leads up Goat Canyon toward the towers that are visible from anywher...

Hike to Waterfall Canyon

So to fully enjoy the theme of this hike, make sure to try and go right after a rain. But also know that since this is a pretty easy hike, you will won't be the only one there. This is also a great hike/ waterfall to do with someone that is new to desert hiking, since it is relatively easy and there isn't a lot of elevation gain. The trail is clearly marked with interpretive signs pointing out ...

This is a great place to begin your hike in the White Tank Mountains. From the Ramada Way area, the trail begins to lead steadily into a small canyon.

Hidden Valley via the Mormon Loop Trail

This is a great spot for an afternoon hike near Phoenix. There are some beautiful rock formations, nice trails, and pretty stunning views of the city and desert beyond. It's open year round and is dog friendly so if you've got a pup, definitely bring it along. It gets super hot in the summer and with little shade, you'll want to be sure to bring plenty of water.
