Usery Mountain Regional Park

I absolutely loved this park! It was gorgeous! There are trails everywhere for biking and hiking. The desert ecosystem is mesmerizing and this sits at the base of beautiful mountains. There are several covered picnic areas and playground equipment for the kids. The best part of the day was being able to view the fantastic sunset. I included some pictures, but it hardly does justice to the beauty of seeing it in person. Enjoy!

a wonderful place to do some hiking meditation! very peaceful (if you go early enough when the guns at the range aren't going off)! if you are itchin' to get a close up look of different varieties of cacti, this is a great place to do so! went on the 7+ mile pass mountain trail. lots of lovely wildflowers and wildlife!

Great park in northeast Mesa for hiking, trail biking, and camping. A beautiful slice of the Sonoran desert with a lot of diverse flora and fauna to see. There are trails for all difficulty levels, Wind Cave being one of the most popular. I recommend the trail that goes all the way around the mountain; I believe it is called Pass Mountain trail. Great place to visit, hike, bike if you are in the area.
