Hidden Valley Trail

Managing agency

City of Phoenix

Hidden Valley Trail is a 1.0-mile out-and-back trail located in Arizona, managed by the City of Phoenix. With only 33 feet of elevation gain, this is an accessible route suitable for hikers of varying ability levels. The minimal elevation change makes it an ideal choice for families, beginners, or anyone seeking a leisurely walk without strenuous climbing. As an out-and-back trail, hikers will follow the same route returning to the trailhead, allowing for flexible turnaround points based on personal preference or time constraints. The trail's short distance and gentle grade make it possible to complete in under an hour for most visitors. The City of Phoenix maintains this trail as part of its public recreation offerings. Before heading out, check with the managing agency for current trail conditions, seasonal closures, or any updates that may affect your visit. Bring adequate water and sun protection, as Arizona's climate can be intense, particularly during summer months.
