Short. Steep. Easy to get to. Uncrowded (usually).....These are all good descriptions of the summit trail at Lookout Mountain, Phoenix, AZ. The trailhead is located on 16th street, south of Greenway, where 16th dead-ends into the mountain. The trail is only 1 mile roundtrip, and it gains a couple hundred feet of elevation. It's actually pretty steep, and rocky in places, but the short distance makes for a quick-heart pumping workout. I actually like to go and do it multiple times (2 or 3), so I am assured a good workout. You can see in every direction from the summit, so as usual, the views are nice. If you're short on time, but you want a quick workout, this trail is a great option.
