Papago Park
4.7 (12,976)park
4.7 (12,976)Red sandstone buttes frame desert trails and fishing lagoons, with views over Phoenix from the Hole-in-the-Rock.
Description
Centuries of wind and water erosion carved the park's red sandstone, creating a setting crossed by an extensive network of multi-use trails for hiking and mountain biking. The grounds also encompass major regional destinations, serving as home to the Desert Botanical Garden and the Phoenix Zoo. It remains a prime destination for accessible outdoor recreation, especially towards dusk for panoramic sunset views from the overlook.
