In response to ajcanable's reply:

Thanks for the reply, AJCanable. Yes, we have been on Garden Loop trail before and we agree that it is a good hike for us.

Let us know if there are any other you would recommend.

We are looking for short (1-5 mile) round trip hikes with small elevation gains (1-500 feet) preferrably in the east valley or Superstition Mountains. My wife is pregnant and wants to continue hiking but Peralta is just too much of a workout right now. Please let us know if you have any suggestions...
