| surgent | Hiked Holbert Trail  Date Climbed: Oct 28, 2012 | |
| Today was a "Silent Sunday" so I parked low and hiked the Holbert Trail to its end at the upper paved road, then walked to the Gila Lookout (where the road ends), about 4 miles each way. Also explored the National Trail and walked the perimeter fencing, but chose to stay legal today, so I got as high as about 2,680 feet. I have hiked and explored the South Mountains innumerable times in my 20+ years here. The petroglyphs are cool, too, a nice reminder that back in the olden days, this was a remote and sacred peak to the local indians. | |

| jmhorner | South Mountain Antennaes-Mount Suppoa Date Climbed: Apr 21, 2011 | |
| Have been wanting to do this everytime I have flown into Sky Harbor into Phoenix. My 18 yr old grandson and I did this via Telegraph Pass and then upwards from the National Trail. Encountered a few expert but crazy mountain bikers. We went off trail to get as close as we could to the antennaes. Made my day! | |

| Tried to do this one after work (in Phoenix on business) and wound up doing the lower section in the dark. Did not have a flashlight, so I downloaded the flashlight ap to my iPhone. | |

| Redwic | Spectacular Views!!! Date Climbed: Mar 5, 2010 | |
| I have been to Phoenix many times and I always neglected to go to South Mountain. Never more! I went up as far as I was allowed to go. The views from the various lookouts were spectacular, easily the best views I have ever seen from one area of Phoenix and its vicinity. There are MANY great trails to explore. Highly recommended!!! | |
