If you don't have a lot of time but want to see a ton of wildflowers, this will be the quick hike for you, there are flowers everywhere as of March 3rd 2017...any other time this is just a "regular" quick hike.

Take the Pioneer exit from I-17 (north of phoenix, just south of anthem) and head east a few hundred feet to the stoplight...at the T intersection go straight and park on the dirt lot located here: 33.821164, -112.139586.

Note: as of last month this has become STATE TRUST LAND (not a problem as long as you have your Permit...if you don't, get one here...land.az.gov/natural ... mits ($20 per year, but we use ours all the time on hikes and jeep rides)

There is a North/east trail to the radio tower (also a Jeep road you can drive) or a south/east trail to a viewpoint...option 3 is a hidden jeep/atv trail that heads straight south for maybe a mile or less...we use it as our "sample size" trail for guests who have never jeep'd before.

Wildflowers (mostly poppies) are all over the western slopes off the hills on this trail, the most we've every seen in nearly 10 years in the area.
