Tips from locals
Moderate hike. About 2 miles up/4 miles round trip! Dog friendly, with great views of the valley!
This trail has some of the nicest desert landscape. It is moderate difficulty.
nearest public trail for hiking into South Mountain. We recommend hiking to Fat Man's Pass and Hidden Valley: everytrail.com/guide/mormon-trail-to-hidden-valley
