  • This is a great place to get in a small scenic hike. My husband and I did this small hike and what a beautiful view from the top of this rock. It was a fun small hike to.

  • Awesome hike for just about anyone! You cannot miss coming here if you are in the Phoenix area. Hiking was a bit scary as we ascended and descended the Hole as it was steep near the top, but we were careful of how we placed our feet on the rocks and did not slip at all. I noticed that many others were confidently climbing in sandals and thongs. A relatively short climb. Nice views of the city and valley. You can see Phoenix and also the airport tower with planes approaching the airport to land. Bring your cameras for great photos. The trail was fairly busy on a Sunday late afternoon. We found parking in the closest lot although every space was full and many people were walking in from other nearby lots. Although the lots are small, we just waited a few minutes for someone to leave as people are always coming and going. Easy in and out, close to the freeways.
  • Very interesting geology. Well worth a visit. Children who are with responsible adults would love it. There are two paths to get up to the Hole in the Rock. If you go…you pass a few parking lots until you get to the lot closet to the trails. If its full just keep driving a bit further and you will find more parking by restrooms. (I would only use them if you really need to, not very clean)
