Beverly Canyon Trail is an easy out-and-back hike in Phoenix, Arizona, managed by the City of Phoenix and set about half a mile from The Pointe at South Mountain. The route is 3.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 333 feet, taking you from a low point of about 1,230 feet to a high of about 1,566 feet. The cooler months are the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Phoenix Sky Harbor show January highs around 68°F and lows near 46°F, while summer highs climb into the mid-100s. That station sits about 460 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the canyon trail run a little cooler. Bikes and horses are both allowed on the trail. Javelina Canyon Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and Pima East Loop and Pima Wash Trail are within a mile. Climbers can find the Pima Canyon Area about 1.5 miles off.
