Hello all,

Been getting back into hiking now that work is slowing down. I was looking for some trail recommendations for an intermediate to difficult hike in the surrounding Phoenix areas (the more the better).

I want to get back into it and do a couple a week that are moderately difficult, and range from a couple miles to 5+ (don't say Camelback Mountain, it's too crowded and for tourists).

I have the AllTrails app on my phone, but I find what others rate difficult I usually come to disagree with.

I have a meeting at work in a few, so if I get recommendations and do not respond, I will shortly. Thank you in advance.

Hi AZ bro. Don't know much about hiking spots in this area, I just moved to Tempe from Sedona so I have the same question.

On that note, I'm also looking for good shooting locations. The only shooting ranges nearby are indoor and I really don't want to shoot my rifles inside, and I don't want to make a trip all the way up to Ben Avery. As far as I can tell, it's legal on all BLM land as long as you follow the rules. I was told that Usery Mountain is a good area. Any other suggestions?

As for shooting, go to the local police dept. for the info, you just have to be x miles away residences, but it varies on city/county.

I know there if a place (shot there before) in North Phoenix, 10 minutes from Desert Ridge that is just empty desert.

Phoenix Mountain Preserve at about 32nd St and Baseline.

I first hiked there with Donna. Then I fucked her, so I like it

Phoenix Rod and Gun Club at about 7 Ave and Baseline (check that), a nice but short range. Good for where it is!

Steel once a week.

> Sedona

Fucker!

I live in Cave Creek, there's a bunch of hiking options out here.

For the most scenic options I'd say hit Spur Cross right outside downtown CC, or somewhere out in New River off Carefree Highway towards the I-17.

Also the area out by pinnacle peak/tom's thumb is incredible, you can see the superstition's miles away.

Yep, studying Chemical Engineering. I've been looking at some of the outdoors clubs but nothing seems too promising; super normie and full of hipsters.
