Squaw Peak
This section will cover trails on and around Squaw Peak but just those that are accessible from the main parking area at the end of Squaw Peak Parkway
Summit Trail
The summit trail begins from the main parking lot and is one of the most popular trails in the valley. If you plan to hike it on a weekend or holiday, go early or you'll be adding a hike from one of the distant parking lots or nearby neighborhoods to the trail's official distance.

Circumfrance Trail
If you're looking for something a bit longer and a bit less crowded but you still want to feel like part of the crowd you could choose the circumfrance trail.
Depending on the direction you choose to circle Squaw Peak this trail either begins or ends by using about the first 1/3 of the Summit trail.
It is more than twice the distance of the Summit trail but has aproximately the same amount of elevation change
