Spectacular views aren’t hard to come by here in Arizona, but accessing them often requires arduous treks through the desert. This unique scenic overlook offers breathtaking panoramic views of Phoenix and the surrounding mountains, and you can drive right up to it!
Dobbin's Lookout is unique in that it's free and accessible by car. No arduous hike required to see this panoramic view of Phoenix!
This stone hut was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Not only is it an incredible piece of history, but its large window provides absolutely unparalleled views of the city
Stick around until sunset for a front row seat to the spellbinding show. Fire erupts across the desert landscape, flames dancing above the mountaintops and leaving you in pure awe of Mother Nature.
And when night falls, a spectacular light show illuminates the darkness. No matter how long Phoenix has been home, trust us when we say you've never seen it quite like this.
You'll find South Mountain Park at 10919 S Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85042. Just keep driving on the main road until you reach the lookout, then get out and enjoy!
