North Mountain National Trail
Phoenix, Arizona
9.7 miles N of Phoenix, ArizonaNorth Mountain National Trail is a 2.3 mile moderate, loop trail near Phoenix. It's easy to travel on if you go up the paved sections. The inclines are steep in parts, making it a real good workout, especially if you jog or run up those steep parts, or do the trail a couple of times. It can get crowded, especially the parking lot to the paved entrance. However, there arre beautiful surrounding views, that make it worth it.
There are 2 ways to hike the mountain. Starting off in the main parking lot, following a single track to the paved road OR starting in a small, secluded parking lot which is where the paved road begins (see red and green trails in map).
This trail is a relatively easy hike even though it has quite an elevation change for its length. The road/trail winds up the hill, revealing many nice lookouts over Phoenix, all the way to the towers on top of the mountain. Courtesy of aztrailheads.com
