The entire length is 16.6 miles, however, you can trek to Bridal Wreath Falls and back in just six.

The rugged, high desert landscape slowly fades into the iconic forest groves of the Rincon Mountains.

Don't let the number freak you out, though, as the ascent is gradual. The path leads up a series of natural staircases, flattening out enough in between for you to catch your breath.

From a birds-eye perspective, however, where the hustle and bustle is nothing but a distant memory, sweeping panoramic views showcase our city in all its glory.

It's a perfect spot to either turn back or simply take a break and listen to the peaceful sound of running water before continuing on.

Can you imagine a better view to admire while you eat?

In winter, snow blankets the Saguaros that line the pathway and creates a scene that perfectly encapsulates the holiday season in Arizona.
