Hike #47 - Geronimo Trail, South Mountain Park, Phoenix, AZ

                                                              The Geronimo Trail is a 2.5 mile, moderate hike with an elevation change of 1,000'.  The trail head is actually at the top of the mountain near the Buena Vista trail head/parking lot, and about .25 miles from a memorial park bench.  We started at the bottom, near 20th St. and Dobbins Road.  There is a small dirt parking area for approx. 6 cars. This is adjacent to the Heard Boy Scout Camp which we walked through on the way down.  We took a left onto the Spur trail about half way down instead of a right which would have taken us back the same way.  There are no signs or markers to show the way or that the trail changes.  This trail is popular with mountain bikers although we did not see anyone.  There are great views of downtown Phoenix.
