10. The Boynton Canyon Trail
The six-mile Boynton Canyon Trail is dog-friendly. Your dog can make the hike with you provided he/she is on a leash. Keep your eyes open and don’t make too much noise and you never know what you’ll see.
You could spot lizards, gila monsters and numerous birds too. The terrain here is varied and includes forests and deserts. The early spans are best for picture taking. The best time to visit is when it’s warmer but be sure to take enough water even if there are shady spots on the way.
11. The Cathedral Rock Trail
The Cathedral Rock Trail is less than one mile in length. Ah, but don’t let that fool you. It might be short but it sure isn’t for a newbie hiker.
The initial ascent is said to be pretty straightforward. The trail is even marked with basket cairns. When you reach a plateau stop to take in the wonderful view.
Shortly after that though you will have to make a decision. Do you keep hiking on the more difficult section or decide you have seen enough? Should you decide to go on, you should know your climb will be at roughly 45 degrees for nearly 40 feet.
If you are visiting when the weather is warm and dry the hand and foot hold will be good. If you’re visiting after it’s rained, beware of slippery conditions. While the view from the end of the trail is stunning, it’s not worth risking bodily injury.
