Didn't start out with this hike in mind but as I was hiking west on trail 100 towards Tatum, I figured why not. I have hiked Dixie from both sides but not at the same time as a loop. You used to be able to park near the east trail, but not sure anymore. So I just walked around and made a loop. Good exercise this morning!

Harem (Dan, Carey, Yolanda) hike today in Phoenix Mountain Preserve, 40th Street Trailhead. Dan put together a loop up Two Bit, down the east side, and back on Trail #100. Trail head was nearly full when Yolanda and I pulled in just before 8:30. Fair amount of people on the Two Bit trail up the west side. Wasn't expecting to see anyone on the east side, but passed hikers in both directions heading down. Zig zagged our though the community and re-entered the Preserve at the end of Sunset Drive. Short connector to Trail #100 back to the parking lot.

Great late-afternoon hike. The cul-de-sac where the trail begins is signed no parking. A small patch of dirt north of there has room for about two cars, use at your own discretion. My friend and I were definitely being watched by the nearby homeowners as we returned to our cars.

This is a cool trail and a quick little climb but I don't think I'll be returning because of the parking situation. Views were fantastic in every direction, especially towards Downtown. Mummy Mountain looked pretty good too.

Late afternoon hike up west side of Peak 2429 and then down the east side and then cut through the neighborhood over to Trail 100. Followed Trail 100 back to 32nd street north to complete the loop.

Really enjoyed the trail. You immediately start climbing but it’s a nice steady gradual climb most of the way with nice dips here and there. The views to the north and east were really nice. Got our workout fix and got to take the pup along and not worry about seeing tons of people. Saw only 1 on the actual trail and 1 up top. If you want to climb Peak 2429 and avoid your fellow humans, I recommend this route!

Just a Friday evening stroll with the pups. It was dark when we started, but I think Phoenix looks better at night anyways, beats staring at the smog.

Saw a fat trail running up the mountain on the way to taking the kid to PV Mall and thought a hike would be better then going home to wait out the shopping. The 40th St trailhead is nice, plenty of parking and bathrooms. The trail is busy, it was quite hot, but the views are nice and it is quiet and clean for how close to everything it is. There were a bunch of butterflies at the summit, pretty cool.

Started from the 40th St. TH and did an over and back. Got there around 6:30 to a full parking lot. Took the Peak 2429 trail (apparently also known as Two Bit Trail. There was a a trail post 1/3 of the way up the mountain with "Two Bit" spray painted on it. Looked legit....or at least it was well done) up the west side. I had actually done this same hike about 5 years ago and I thought I knew where the 2 trails joined. Apparently I misremembered ](*,) . I ended up following a user trail that petered out about 50 yards from where it originated. Note: The saddle north of peak 2429 has a couple of false trail that lead nowhere. The actually "connection" between the two trails occurs about 10 feet below the summit. Anyway, instead of turning back from this dead end trail, I ended up paralleling the side of the mountain until I ran into Dixie 2429. After that, it was fairly smooth hiking. I took the trail down to the cul de sac and then turned around. Encountered 3 people on the east side and about 25 on the west. In my mind the east side is definitely easier and more beautiful. Yeah, you are looking at a bunch of high end homes, but the trail is much more engaging and the mountain geography is eye catching...at least compared to the west side.

I woke up this morning with a fever. And there was only one cure. I tried more cowbell, but that didn't work, so I figured I would have to squeeze a quick hike in to my work day. I have never done this peak from the east side, making this even more alluring. After a good 10 minute work call upon entering the trail, I made my way off to the peak. Fun climb with good effort, but certainly nothing too crazy. Seems a little less steep than the west ascent, nice trail the whole way. Brief stop up top for views, then back down to the truck too cool down and put my nice shirt back on. Fantastic.

Late morning and a decision to do this hike shortly before getting ready and walking out the door. From the trail we could see the houses below us and I counted no less than three houses with their own tennis courts. Spontaneous sort of hiking day and it came together nicely that Lee and dogs could join us at the summit and finish the loop with us.

Claire and I wanted an easy hike in town and set our sights on Peak 2429. We started the drive over to the east side off Tatum and FOTG texted me. I let him know we were heading for a quick hike and he decided to join us. Claire and I parked and started the hike up. We took our time as we enjoyed the views and the heat. Phoenix really warmed up today with temps in the high 70's. About a third of the way from the top we saw FOTG park and start hiking. We waited for him and the dogs on the summit. Once all of us were together we hiked down the west side and made a loop connecting onto the 100 trail. The last stretch involved walking through the neighborhood. This was a quick and easy hike and I'm glad FOTG & the dogs were able to join us. Sometimes the impromptu hikes are the best.
