Tentang
Fakta cepat: Membentang lebih dari 16.000 hektar, taman ini termasuk salah satu taman kota terbesar di negara ini, lebih besar dari banyak taman nasional. Lebih dari 50 mil jalur setapak melintasi lanskap Gurun Sonoran, menawarkan pemandangan kaktus saguaro, roadrunner, dan kadal Gila.
Sorotan: Di puncak Dobbins Lookout, Anda dapat melihat seluruh lembah Phoenix menyala seperti papan sirkuit saat matahari terbenam, dengan lebih dari 11.000 kaki siluet gunung di cakrawala. Petugas taman mengatakan bagian timur taman yang belum dikembangkan menyembunyikan petroglif kuno yang diukir oleh suku Hohokam lebih dari 1.000 tahun yang lalu, hanya dapat dicapai dengan berjalan kaki.
Tips orang dalam
- Enter through the 24th Street entrance instead of the main gate to access quieter trailheads like Mormon Trail.
- Drive the 6-mile Summit Road up to Dobbins Lookout for sweeping valley views without breaking a sweat.
- Head out at dawn for the best chance to spot desert tortoises, javelinas, and Harris's hawks.
- Wear closed-toe hiking shoes even on the paved paths, as rattlesnakes sometimes bask on the warm asphalt after sundown.
