Hiking in Mesa
Hitting the trail by foot offers one of the best ways to experience the desert flora up close and personal (not to mention fauna with countless species of birds, Big Horn sheep, deer and javelina roaming freely through the landscape). Mesa is surrounded by hiking trails for all ages with varying levels of difficulty and distances to choose from. Though Mesa boasts miles and miles of desert hiking trails, some of the most popular paths for visitors include those offered at Usery Mountain Regional Park, Lost Dutchman State Park and throughout the Tonto National Forest wilderness areas that lie just outside the city.
