South Mountain is one of the US' largest public parks. It is a desert nature preserve and one of my favorite hiking spots. It's about a 20 minute drive from my place and there are many trails in this area, but Kiwanis Trailhead is best for beginners and travelers. It's also got some great views, so be prepared to take lots of photos!
P.S. BRING WATER!!!
