It's always a great workout to hike up Camelback. Lots of climbing up and above rocks throughout the whole trail. Definitely a full body workout. Be careful for rattlesnakes during snake season.

This hike is very popular in the valley. If you've never been, I suggest for you to go on a weekday in the mid-morning. I don't suggest hiking this trail in the mid-day in the summer because it gets HOT! If you do, bring lots and lots of water.

This trail is one of my favorites. It takes me about 2-3 hours to complete depending on hoe fast I want to power through it. Its a hike that gets my legs burning but I love it!

Busy hike but indeed a great workout. Once you get to the summit you can relax and watch the sun rise or sun set.

This is a very fun drive! My husband loves to drive it and I love to photograph it. It took is about 3 hours to drive through it starting in Apache Junction and going up to Payson and back down towards Apache Junction. You can also turn around in Globe.

This beauty is a must see. If you're looking for an easy hike that leads to a wonderful view of Multnomah, this is it! Even though it can be a little busy at times, if you go early enough you'll be able to be there with less people around. I went around 10:30AM on a Thursday and it was just starting to get busy.

This is an easy hike and a wonderful place to go to and catch the sunset over the city.

The drive up to the crest involves winding roads and it's actually fun to drive to. Once you're on the crest you just park your car and if you want you can hop over the wall to take better pictures of the crest.

Wow! This place is fantastic! I visited for the first time a few days ago and I was amazed by how beautiful it was. The hike into the Gorge was fairly easy once you pass the big tree trunks but after that it's all up to you on how far you want to go depending on how deep and cold the water is.

My husband, a friend of ours and I camped here for the first time and it's truly a great campsite. The people are very, very nice and welcoming. It's so great to have the trails too which are a fun way to spend time away from the campsite. (Treasure Loop and Siphon Draw trails are my two favorites!) We had water and electric outlets for our convince along with a campfire pit/grill. We were located at campsite #93 which has a great view of Supersition Mountains!
