Piestewa Peak
Last Sunday we hiked up Piestewa Peak in Phoenix. This city is wonderful -- there are miles and miles of hiking trails all over the place, and all easy access. Despite the crazy crowds to hike this peak, the view at the top was SO worth it.

It's a 1.2 mile hike to the top, for about 2.4 miles round trip. Doesn't seem bad until you start getting up there, and running out of breath. It's quite difficult if you haven't been working out much (guilty!). It actually SNOWED from about North Scottsdale all the way north in the state. Flagstaff got four FEET of snow. At the top of the peak, the snow capped mountains were deliciously beautiful.
I was so sore the next day, but ready to go and hike it all over again. I'm hoping we can hit this hike again in a few weeks.
