| Have hiked this many times since the mid-1990s, it is very popular and often crowded. Great views on the way up and from the summit. | |

| Tonka | Another exercise route in Phoenix Date Climbed: Nov 23, 2011 | |
| We came out for Thanksgiving and were planing on doing the Flat Iron but a plane crashed into it, killing a family. Very sad, so we had to change our plans. On our way to do a quick run up Camelback there was an air rescue going on so we changed some more plans and did Piestewa. Nice workout but strange set of circumstances. | |

| Brad F | Great location! Date Climbed: Mar 26, 2012 | |
| We were just driving around the Phoenix area and stumbled across the parking lot for the trail head. So we decided to give it a go! Love how this peak is located in the middle of the city. Nice day, great weather and fun little hike. Quite busy. | |

| Redwic | Nice Urban Peak! Date Climbed: Jan 30, 2012 | |
| I had been wanting to visit this peak for several years. With a few extra morning hours prior to flying out, I took a chance with little information other than a street map. I was surprised to find such a great area and trail system. The Summit Trail should be renamed "Piestewa Peak Superhighway" due to the amount of people there. Awesome views. Great conditioning hike! | |

| Dean | Crowded Date Climbed: Dec 22, 2011 | |
| What a popular trail. 100's of people and a stair case of a trail. A bit hazy over the Phoenix area but I can see why it is so popular. People of all sizes, ages and determination were met and I enjoyed the hike even though I had a calf muscle that didn't want to co-operate. Ibuprofen subdued the rebellious body part enough so I could still hike. I'd do this one again if I have the chance as it is a good conditioner. | |

| In the area for work. Had done Camelback the prior night. Fantastic urban hikes. If you only have time for one I would recomend Camelback via Echo Canyon. Been lucky to be in the desert in spring last few years. Everyting in bloom, very nice! | |

| chewbachman | Crowded but worth it! Date Climbed: Apr 2, 2011 | |
| The trail was crowded and a majority of the people on the trail had no concept that hikers going up have the right of way... all of that being said, it was worth it once we got to the bronse medallion at the top. What a view! Make sure you get there early though because the parking lot was completely full by 7am. | |

| bennovak | Main trail Date Climbed: Nov 28, 2010 | |
| Nice hike on a Thanksgiving visit. Maybe even more popular then the Camelback route we did a couple days earlier. Similar hikes but I liked Camelback more | |

| EJBean | Nice getaway from the metro Date Climbed: Mar 15, 2002 | |
| I've climbed this peak 15-20 times while living in the Phoenix area at various times. I loved having a retreat so close to the city. | |

| Alex Wood | Rain Date Climbed: Feb 21, 2010 | |
| Hiked this with my girlfriend when I was visiting here in Phoenix. For being right in the middle of a city, this is a really really cool peak. The views are also really amazing. We had a bunch of rain so that made it really slick on the descent. | |

| TJ311 | Birthday Hike Date Climbed: Jan 19, 2010 | |
| Was in Phoenix for the Rock & Roll Half Marathon. Planned a few extra days so that I could get a couple of hikes in. The trail was pretty busy, but we had the summit to ourselves for a few minutes. A perfect January day and my 46th birthday! | |
