Hidden Valley via Mormon Trail in South Mountain Park/Preserve Distance: 4 miles out and back This steep trail leans toward the more difficult side of a moderate hike, but if you’re up for the challenge, it’s a must-see for views, desert flora and fun rock formations. Start at the Mormon Trailhead and connect with the National Trail to head south. That was the hard part: The remainder of the hike is for peeking at petroglyphs, playing around a natural tunnel and tight squeeze through “Fat Man’s Pass.” The lollipop-shaped loop brings you back to Mormon Trail for your descent.

Great moderate hike. 4 miles total, but there are shorter loops in area if needed.

Moderate hike. About 2 miles up/4 miles round trip! Dog friendly, with great views of the valley!
