The Inside Word on South Mountain Park and Preserve
-
I frequently take my dog out running and hiking and while I will not tell you where they are, if you are observant you will see petroglyphs all over South Mountain. If you ever get the chance to hike in the rain, take the Mormon trail off 48th street to Fatmans pass, and follow the water falls back to the road, it is just beautiful. The flowers all bloom in March and after a rainy winter, it is gorgeous.
