Buckeye Hills Regional Park

Buckeye Hills Regional Park is located about 60 minutes West of downtown Phoenix Arizona. Buckeye Hills Regional Park offers Archery, primitive camping, picnic sites (with and without ramadas), and a public shooting range. One of the interesting features about Buckeye Hills Regional Park is that the park is designed like a hiking trail for cars. What I mean by this is that the road looks like a hiking trail through the desert. It is a fun drive you can enjoy with your family, partner, or by yourself if you want to spend a quite afternoon in the desert.
