Piestewa Peak: 2701 E Squaw Peak Dr, Phoenix, AZ 85016
This trail is only 30 minutes away from Acero at Algodon Center!
Visit Phoenix describes Piestewa Peak here saying that, “The preserve's second highest point (after Camelback) is Piestewa Peak at 2,608 feet. If you want to enjoy the panoramic views, there's only one way up: The extremely strenuous Summit Trail (#300), challenging hikers with a 1,200-ft elevation gain and rocky, unrelenting climb. It's one of Phoenix's best hikes, but it's a challenge.” Read more about the specifics of the trail here.
