Hiking Phoenix

• Weather during the wintertime is usually warm and pleasant, but winter evening temperatures can drop fast, so dress for warmth after sundown.
• Summertime highs can reach 120 degrees, so hike early or hike late in the day.
• Carry a minimum of a gallon of water per person, more during the hottest summer months.
• The Phoenix area has low humidity, so you might not feel as hot as you would in a location with high humidity. That doesn't mean you need any less water!
• Watch for rattlesnakes when you hike in the desert. If you see one, don't go near it!
