Although none of the trails strays very far from suburban backyards, the difficult-rated summit loop gains enough elevation to provide a good workout backed by excellent views. The trail is very well constructed with hairpin switchbacks and staircase-like rock slabs that make climbing the steep chutes manageable for even novice hikers. The trek is a surprisingly quiet journey and, save for the occasional yapping of Yorkshire terriers guarding their patios, the soundtrack is one of breezes through paloverde trees and the hum of wind-rustled saguaro needles. Length: 2.4 miles. Rating: Moderate to difficult. Elevation: 1,476-1,916 feet. Where: Sonoran Mountain Ranch Park, 7098 W. Miner Trail, Peoria. From Phoenix, take Interstate 17 north to Happy Valley Road. Go west for 5 miles to 67th Avenue, then turn right and drive 2.8 miles (the road becomes Pyramid Peak Parkway) to Sonoran Mountain Ranch Road. Veer left and go 0.5 mile to Chalfen Boulevard, turn left, continue 0.1 mile to Miner Trail and follow the signs to Sonoran Mountain Ranch Park. From the post near the restrooms, hike 0.1 mile south on Chalfen to the official trailhead. Do not park along residential streets. Details: www.peoriaaz.gov/NewSecondary.aspx?id=51551.
