It is late September and Phoenix is no longer at burning temperatures. Fall is here and the weather has finally cooled down. That means you can finally bring out your fall clothes, drink all your favorite fall drinks and start exercising outside without having a heat stroke.

Hiking comes with multiple health benefits and great experiences. Whenever I go hiking I enjoy fresh air, the smell and sounds of nature, as well as the view of the city when you have finally reached the top. Below are some of the hiking trails that are very popular and recommended in the Phoenix area.

Double Butte Loop/Hole in the Rock

Roadside America

Location: Papago Park

Distance: 2.4 miles

Difficulty: Moderate

Piestewa Peak Summit Trail #300

Arizona Daily Sun

Location: Phoenix Mountain Preserve

Distance: 2.3 miles

Difficulty: Moderate to difficult

L.V. Yates Trail #8

Location: Phoenix Mountain Preserve

Distance: 4.9 miles

Difficulty: Easy to moderate

Camelback Mountain

Visit Phoenix

Location: N 44th St & E Camelback St

Distance: 2.4 miles

Difficulty: Moderate to difficult

When going on a hike, I recommend that you put on your most comfortable clothes and shoes, bring plenty of water and have a safe time. It is also safe to bring a friend and also have a map of the trail being hiked.

Happy Fall!

It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
