On The Rocks – South Mountain Preserve

Hey everyone, welcome to On The Rocks! I’m your trail guide, Claudia Collins. I’m taking you along for my adventures as I check hikes, waterfalls and other outdoor activities off of my Arizona bucket list! Today we’re wandering the trails at the South Mountain Preserve. 

South Mountain Preserve is centrally located for many Spring Training facilities. I brought some friends along for a morning hike before heading to a Spring Training game that day. 

Some of my favorite trails on South Mountain include:

  • Fat Mans Pass
  • Telegraph Pass
  • Dobbins Lookout via East Mineral Road
  • Desert Classic Loop
  • National Trail to Mormon Loop
  • Pima Canyon Trailhead – choose your route
