This trail is located a little further west in the valley than I usually hike, but it's worth the trip. It's located in Thunderbird Park, off 59th Avenue, north of the 101. The park contains a variety of well marked trails that could appeal to all levels of hikers, all of which are labeled by the letter "H" and then followed by a number for the corresponding trail (ie: H1, H2, H3, etc.). This particular trail (H3) is a really nice hike, but it would also make a great trail run, or even a challenging mountain bike ride. From the closest parking area in the park, the trail is a nice 3.5 mile loop, which only gains a few hundred feet of elevation. The views are nice, and it provides a different setting than most of the east valley hikes I frequent. I like the trail a lot, and my wife Lacie says it's one of her very favorites, so there you go. Check it out.
