Can you feel it? Stepping outside is tolerable now. September 21 marks the first day of fall, but that can be hard to tell in Arizona. Judging by these last few beautiful days, it’s time to start playing outside again. This may be a novel concept to some, but we’re here to offer you some exciting options for getting outside. From beginners to experts, here are our favorite hikes and trails to explore and to enjoy the weather.

1. Camelback Mountain
​This is the quintessential hike to take in the Valley. Everyone knows Camelback Mountain. Starting at the Echo Canyon Trailhead, this hike can be strenuous. At the end you will have climbed a little over a mile. The city views make it completely worth it. ​​

2. West Fork Trail
​This is absolutely one of the most beautiful hikes you can take in Arizona. You do have to travel to Sedona, but the beauty of the West Fork Trail makes up for it. At around five miles long, the trail winds around Oak Creek. This means you’ll get wet so be sure to bring some comfortable shoes you won’t mind submerging. It is also a an extremely popular hiking destination. The earlier you arrive, the better.

3. Tom’s Thumb Trailhead 
Located in the McDowell Mountains, Tom’s Thumb trailhead is one of the most beautiful hikes to take that won’t take the day to get to. At four miles in length, the trail is usually heavy with traffic. If you make it to the end, you’ll see Tom’s glorious thumb (pictured). It’s important to remember that there is no water available on this hike and that it is imperative you bring your own.
