"We drove up as far as we could at night, and then hiked the rest of the way up. The City of Phoenix at night, looked at from the mountain, is incredible. The lights turn into bocha dots. It's a must"

"Such great mexican food and salsa. Get the machaca chimi enchilada style special, it's like $6 bucks. Prepare for a full stomach. Service varies, have had a good times and bad."

"If you come up on the back side, in the neighborhoods on the south east side, there's a trail to a small rock mound. Easily the best sunrise I've ever seen, facing four peaks. Bring coffee!"

"They've since moved to a bigger location, but the owner, Ruben, is awesome. Great help with bikes, and the products inside are unique."

"I've got a friend who owns this big art house in the district. One of the coolest places to do homework and meet random people. A bike ride through the area is a must."

"Been taking my girlfriend here for a couple years now. Incredible pizza that's totally affordable with awesome atmosphere. Get the arnold palmer!"
