For many people, the best part of hiking isn’t the hike itself but the view from the top. Whether it’s the top of Agassiz Peak at the San Francisco Peaks or just the top of A Mountain in Tempe, each of these offers an incredible view that often helps put life into perspective for many. Check out some of the beautiful views you can see from these Arizona mountain tops.
1. Camelback Mountain offers a 360-degree view of the Phoenix metropolitan area.
4. Most of us will only see the Four Peaks from below. Here’s one of the views from up top on Brown’s Peak, one of the four, looking down at Roosevelt Lake.
5. Tom’s Thumb in the McDowell Mountains offers some pretty views of the Superstitions and the East Valley. Here’s one example looking down at Fountain Hills.
