Hike ‘A’ Mountain
Located in Downtown Tempe. Trailheads located:
- Behind Tempe Mission Palms Hotel off of Third and Fourth Street and Mill Avenue
- Behind the Hayden Flour Mill at Mill Avenue and Rio Salado Parkway
- Behind the Tempe Transportation Center on Veterans Way and College Avenue
Like most trails in the area, this is a preserve, so just look for the trailhead signs and stay on the marked paths. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for petroglyphs that were left by from Tempe’s first settlers, the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People. The last part of the hike is steep, but the view from the top is a great reward for work well done. And, when you’re finished, the restaurants and taverns along Mill Avenue are ultra-convenient.
