Route Description for Pinal Peak via Pioneer Pass
Pinal Peak is the highest point in the Pinal Mountains, so it’s a great pick if you want to enjoy a high-up viewpoint. The perk is that this hike sees relatively little traffic. If you can time your hike for the autumn color change, you’ll be in for an extra treat. Come prepared with lots of water, extra layers for the top, and a map in case you start to lose your way.
From the trailhead, begin your trek through the pine forest. About halfway through, the foliage drops off and you’ll see the view open up. It’s a fairly consistent climb, although the middle third of the hike is the most demanding aside from the final climb to the summit.
From the top, admire East Mountain and Signal Peak beside you. When you’re ready, you’ll descend the same way you came up.
