Hello,

I am going to Phoenix an a few weeks (October 23-26). I have never been there before, and I need some advice where to go. Here is my criteria;

I am definately a beginner, and primarily after scenery, as opposed to a strenious hike. I prefer to do this in tennis shoes, so I only have to pack one pair.

I am staying downtown, and I am hoping to be within 1 hour drive, So maybe North or South Mountain? Or the Preserve?

On a good day, I can walk a 5K, but I prefer this to be between 1 mile and 2 miles total walking, as I only have about 3 hours to do everything, and return back to downtown.

If anyone can reccomend something I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Jessica

You should consider the McDowells or Shaw Butte.

Have a great and safe time!
