I have really enjoyed getting familiar with the trails in South Mountain Park in Phoenix this year. The Holbert Trail is a popular trail and easy to get to with plenty of parking. Round trip, the trail is 4.7 miles and you can easily add another mile if you take the Dobbins Trail at the intersection near the top to the popular scenic overlook. I had driven to this spot several times in the past. This particular Sunday was "Quiet Sunday" so no motorized vehicles were allowed. The elevation gain is approx. 1,100' and it took us approx. 3 hours with a long break at the top to enjoy the view. There are some amazing petroglyphs along this trail.
