This site is dedicated to the hikers of the Phoenix Mountains Park and Recreation Area.  The Phoenix Mountains Park and Recreation Area has many things to offer all hikers, old or young; male or female; exercise enthusiasts or casual strollers.  It has strenuous trails for those who want to improve their health and fitness, as well as trails that lead to the peace and tranquility of being alone for those who would like to relax and view the beauty of an Arizona sunrise.  All within a short distance of where we live. 

I have created this site as a method of informing all users of the beauty and enjoyment that we have within our reach right in the confines of metropolitan Phoenix.  I have created pages to allow hikers to take a interactive hike of the Summit trail and to see what it has to offer. During that hike you will see different points along the 1.2 mile; 1,198 foot vertical assent trail that goes from the parking lot to the summit.  I must let all know that due to the resolution of the photographs on the pages of the interactive hike, they will be slow to load on a dial up internet connection. 

We have also created pages giving the history of the Summit trail as well as the regulations and hiking etiquette as specified by the City of Phoenix.

For the regular hikers I've included the names, and e-mail links (if provided) of others who enjoy our hobby as well as a page where events or planned hikes can be reviewed.  There is also a page I've named the "Hiker's Hangout" where you can offer ideas and suggestions to make other hikes more enjoyable.  This is also a place where hikers can ask if there are any others who would be willing to hike together.

Since the peak has been renamed, a vote has been taken to determine if this website should be renamed.  The overall majority of the voters wanted the name Squaw Peak Hiker to remain.  There has been an addition of an address though.  The Website can now be accessed via www.piestewapeakhiker.org as well as www.squawpeakhiker.org.

Please look around the site and enjoy what it has to offer.  If you have any suggestions, please contact me by my e-mail so I may possibly include them for others enjoyment.

This site and the Squaw Peak Hikers list, are funded solely by donations.  Anything you would like to donate would be greatly appreciated.
