I have a home on South Mountain. Right out my back door I have access to endless trails like the one's below.
This is the largest municipal park in the country and one can easily spend time running one of many trails. One of my favorites is the "Gut Wrencher." We start at the base, climb over 1500 feet up Telegraph Pass and then run National Trail to The Pointe. It is constant climbing and isn't for the faint of heart. At almost 13 miles, this will test your will. On one side of this outstanding mountain you have views of Ahwatukee (my dwelling spot) or to the North one has sweeping views of downtown PHX and most other Valley cities. Strap on the Vibram Five Fingers and enjoy communing with nature!
