Piestewa Peak
Every Saturday I try to take my kids on a new adventure somewhere they have never been in the Beautiful state of Arizona. This Saturday’s adventure was Piestewa Peak. Piestewa Peak stretches 2,610 feet into the sky and is the second highest mountain behind Camelback mountain in the Phoenix Mountain Range.
My Kids Review
Connor, my seven year old son, loved Piestewa Peak and claims Piestewa Peak to be his second favorite adventure behind Papago Park: Hole in the Rock. My daughter loved Piestewa Peak. Like her brother, she thinks Piestewa Peak is her second favorite place in Arizona. Unlike her brother, her favorite place is Lake Pleasant Regional Park. I imagine when I finally take Connor on a boat at Lake Pleasant, then Lake Pleasant will be his favorite, too.

Pros & Cons
Pros
The views are some of the best of Phoenix in the area. Everything is beautiful.
The second highest peak in the Phoenix Mountain Range. Good trail to help people make it to the top.
Dogs are not allowed on the summit trail.
Cons
Dogs are not allowed on the summit trail.
The Hiking trails are made like steps and not as easy to walk up as they could be. The Trail is in need of repair.
Parking is not a great situation. Many times you will park your car on the street.
