Hike #45 - Kiwanis Trail, South Mountain Park, Phoenix, AZ

The Kiwanis Trail was built by the Phoenix Kiwanis Club and is one of the most popular trails at South Mountain Park.  Like most trails in the park, you are surrounded by beautiful Saguaros that are only found in the Sonoran Desert as well as a variety of other cacti.  The trail is one mile each way with an elevation gain of 480'.  Kiwanis Trail intersects Telegraph Pass Trail and National Trail. There are 2 rock wall dams built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. We passed several families with young children as it makes for a great adventure for the entire family.
