| no partners | | I've never hiked in the park before and opted for the Rock Peak TH to avoid any crowds on this perfect day. Success! 3 cars! 
The Rock Peak and Malpais trails seem to be afterthoughts and generally follow sandy washes that are not pleasant. The other trails are the exact opposite. Perfect for trail running, mountain biking, or putting! I think they rake them daily!
Tons of saguaro down here and great views all around. Malpais is a scenic trail. This park would be 10x better if they built some trails that ascend some of the peaks. As it is they seem to try to avoid elevation gain whenever possible.
For some reason I put effort into getting back to watch some sportsing thing on TV. Reconsidering that decision now. ](https://hikearizona.com/dex2/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall") |
