The South Mountain Ridgeline trail in Phoenix, Arizona. A staple mountain in an okay part of Phoenix metro. The mountain range is fun to hike through, especially if you want to avoid the normal long drives and campouts that go with most of my trips. Overall, I'll do 19 miles and 4,000 feet of climbing, a higher stat than any day on Kilimanjaro. It is getting hot in AZ, so remember to pack enough water and try to leave early in the day for city hikes from now until October.
