Route Description for Beverly Canyon Trail
The Beverly Canyon Trail provides you with the great scenery of one of the canyons in Phoenix’s South Mountain Preserve without the crowds that more popular trails can bring. You’ll explore a canyon in the northeastern corner of the preserve. The surroundings are dry and rugged, but look for wildflowers and interesting cacti beside the trail.
If this route is shorter than you’d like, you can continue past the top of the loop or use one of the other connecting trails to keep hiking. Download a route guide if you’re interested in exploring the area. Remember to bring lots of water with you and don’t hike in the heat of the day. Additionally, keeping dogs on leash is important due to the frequency of coyote sightings in this area.
From the trailhead, take Beverly Canyon Trail. Keep in mind that Javelina Canyon Trail also departs from this trailhead, so you’ll want the trail on your left when you’re looking at the preserve. At the first fork, stay left. You’ll hike alongside the ridge immediately to your right. The Beverly Canyon Trail generally continues straight, so don’t be tempted to veer off on side trails. The route ends at the T-junction with National Trail. From here, turn around and retrace your steps.
