Thunderbird Conservation Park

Has it really been six years since my last hike here? Time flies. We took advantage of the lower temps this week before it heats up. I attempted the Arrowhead trail yet again but it only confirmed this is a killer on my knees. I made it about a mile before deciding to opt for another trail. I hiked down and crossed the steer and started at the Cholla Loop. From the intersection with the light it wraps the mountain and connects near the bridge that crosses over the road. Yes still rocky and lots on incline and switchbacks, but felt more doable to me. Length on Cholla is about a mile longer than Arrowhead if you complete the entire trail. Great views and the workout was awesome as well.

Beautiful trails and natural wildlife 360 degrees around you. This trail is much easier compared to camelback but longer depending on how many segments you do. Trails are clean and maintained. Beautiful neighborhoods surround the hillsides. I would highly recommend.

Great place to go if you want to get into hiking but want to start slow. I love that you can bring your dogs.

Had a good time. Hike is a little short compared to Camelback or Piestewa but the scenery is beautiful and the trail was fun.

Nice little, small conservation, supplying nice trails, public restrooms, and friendly visitors and some beautiful scenery of the valley at its peaks.
