Piestewa Peak - Hiking Summit Trail | Arizona
Рет қаралды 1,427
Жыл бұрынA venture to the top of Piestewa Peak - the 2nd tallest mountain in the Phoenix Mountain Range after Camelback Mountain. Piestewa is 2,610 ft above sea level; formally called Squaw Peak - it's name was changed to Piestewa in 2003 to honor Lori Ann Piestewa who was the first known Native American woman to die in combat in the U.S. military. She lost her life in the Iraq War that same year.
There are several trails you can hike on and around Piestewa Peak, in this video I am highlighting the Summit Trail (300) - a steep and spectacularly scenic trek to the gray jagged mountain summit of Piestewa. I highly recommend you do this hike at sunset!

Enjoy, it's an excellent hike and I like this summit better than Camelback.

Well done! You can tell that you were genuinely enthusiastic about the mountain and AZ in general. You should check out the Flat Iron hike in the Superstition Mountain Range. Big jump in terms of height, distance and overall length of hike, but it is absolutely stunning. Coolest hike I’ve done out here as a native.

I’m glad you mentioned that, Flat Iron and Superstition Hikes in general is next on my Arizona Excursion list. Planning to explore more of those trails this year.

Looks like a good workout. Beautiful shots of the sunset. Life is definitely an adventure, not to be spent sitting at home wasting the day away. And you are right, there is always something you can do, even in boring small towns.

It used to be called Squaw Peak until a few years ago.
