Pinnacle Peak Park

26802 N. 102nd Street, Scottsdale, AZ

If you’re not up for a long hike but still want great views, head to Pinnacle Peak. The trail, which is about 1 3/4 miles each way, is suitable for novices and has plenty of areas to rest and enjoy the scenery. It’s a great place to take energetic kids–but remember, you’re in Arizona, so prep them on what to do if they see snakes or spiders (in short, stay calm and give them a wide berth!). Luckily, the trail is popular enough that most wildlife steers clear.
