Fantastic views from the summit |
2701 East Squaw Peak Lane (at the corner of Lincoln Drive) Phoenix, AZ 85016 +1 602 262 7901 / +1 602 262 7901 (Ranger) / +1 602 262 6862 (Phoenix Parks and Recreation) http://www.ci.phoenix.az.us/PARKS/mntparks.html |
Centrally located the Piestewa Peak was earlier known as Squaw Peak and is a part of the Phoenix Mountains. Piestewa dominates the skyline and scenery, when viewed from anywhere in the city. Layers from the earth's original continental crust have become exposed on this peak with the erosion of the top rock layers. The peak is as old as 1700 million years, when the first layers of the sedimentary rocks were formed. There are over a dozen trails, which one can hike and enjoy the silence and the panoramic view of the Sonora Desert. For those who wish to only watch, the park affords that opportunity as well. Covered ramadas in a well-maintained picnic area allow visitors to observe the local wildlife and plants. Do remember your sunscreen, hat, and plenty of water when visiting the parks in Arizona.
