Mormon Trailhead at ​South Mountain Park

Take Petzooie to Mormon Trailhead in Phoenix, Arizona, for a somewhat strenuous trek. This path is a five-mile circle with a 1,000-foot elevation increase that offers year-round vistas of the desert. Take in the wildflowers and local wildlife along the trail, or simply walk for exercise. Try one of the paths that connect to this one and explore the region if you want a longer hike. There is plenty of parking near the trailhead. Make sure to carry lots of water for both yourself and Petzooie.
