Route Description for Corona de Loma Trail
The Corona de Loma Trail is a route in Phoenix’s South Mountain Preserve that leads up a steep slope to a ridge with great views of the preserve and the city. This hike is strenuous, and it’s often used by hikers who are training for longer adventures or backpacking trips. Pick it on a day when you want to get a good sweat on!
This route isn’t the best choice for families or beginners. Since you’ll be working fairly hard and out in the sun, bring lots of water with you and avid hiking in the hot afternoons.
From the trailhead, the route is generally well-marked. Stay right at the first two junctions, taking Warpaint South Trail towards the ridge. Bear left twice onto Lower Corona Trail, then begin your switchbacks up the slope. It’s steep switchback after steep switchback until you reach the top, where you’ll still be working against the grade but at a more reasonable intensity. At the road, turn back and retrace your steps.
