Phoenix Piestewa Peak

 Back

 

These days they claim Phoenix Mountain Park (which includes a large preserve area) is in the middle of town. Once upon a time this was far north of the city since it is 9 miles north of the downtown area. I live 14 miles north of Piestewa Peak! You can see a white meandering line which is the summit trail. If you look closely you may be able to make out hikers.
