Eye On Arizona

Valentine’s Day Hike into the Sonoran Desert

February 14, 2009

With cool desert temperatures of 56°F it was a spectacular morning to take a hike into the Sonoran Desert via the Mountain Wash Trail in Mesa, Arizona.  This hike is just steps away from the gated, master planned, golf community of Las Sendas.  This wonderful, easy to moderate hike takes approximately 40-60 minutes, bringing hikers into the Saguaro filled Tonto National Forest.  As you ascend in elevation, hikers experience some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the Phoenix area, outside of a helicopter.  The trail is great for kids and adults.  Kids can explore the washes and look at the various rock formations on the trail, and may encounter some wildlife.  Enjoy your day.
