Easy steep short hike to the top. Have to walk around path to the right as your facing it. Great place to take guests and has a beautiful lake area around it.

Joelle St Clair

Perfect hike for families or older family members up to Hole in Rock. Great view of the city , rocks and water.

Brian Bell

This is a great little "hike " up to a really cool formation in the rock. The Hole in the Rock is a great vantage point to watch a famous AZ sunset , have a picnic , etc. Parking closes when park closes.

Matt Hodson

Not really a hike but a steep, short walk up a hill . Very scenic and easy to accomplish. While up there I saw an old lady and a young boy make it to the top. Anyone can do this hike .

Brian Bell

A nice easy hike (walk) to the "Hole in the Rock" is a favorite place to watch the beautiful Arizona sunsets . Pay attention to park closure times (seasonal) as they close parking gates. Photo Opp.

Chris Webb

Gate closes at 7 so get there earlier if you want to watch the sunset . Hunts Tomb is the best spot in the park for views . Feeding the animals is prohibited.

Tommi Goodman

Great place to watch the sunset ! It perfectly overlooks downtown and the distant mountain ranges! Great way to see those beautiful Arizona sunsets !

One of the best parts of Phoenix - beautiful at sunset and lots of good trails to explore.

There’s no better place to experience the natural beauty of Arizona than Papago Park. Go for a jog, walk your dog or simple soak up the sun!

Papago Park’s red rock formations formed 6-15 million years ago. The holes in Hole-in-The-Rock are called ‘tafoni’ and were likely used by the Hohokam people to track the movement of the sun. Read more

Fantastic hiking and biking trails . Fun place to go have a picnic .

Denise Menchaca

I enjoy walking my dog in the west area of the park . I take one of 4 walks - walking southwest, walking northwest, walking to the Elliot ramada, or the [mostly] asphalt walk around the golf course .

Sean Miller

Lots of great trails for hiking .

Climb up to the hold in the rock at sunset and watch the planes fly in. Make sure to bring your camera !

Hunt's Tomb

The tomb itself is interesting because it's a pyramid. The first governor of AZ and his family are buried here. It sits atop a mountain and the view is beautiful. - Mary Dreyer
