South Mountain Park and Preserve

You and your dog can explore over 51 miles of primary trails at South Mountain Park and Preserve. Are you not a hiker? Take the Summit Road to Dobbins Lookout or Gila Lookout for a view of the Gila River Valley. Once a month, South Mountain Park hosts Silent Sunday, a day when the park's main access roads are closed to motorized vehicles and only non-motorized traffic is permitted. All hiking trails in Phoenix are subject to leash rules, and pets must be leashed at all times.
