The “hike” began at the Kiwanis Trailhead parking lot (see map above) and we took the trailhead on the right side of the lot (as you face the parked cars). We followed the Las Lamitas trail, which is a smooth, gradual path that seems to be more of a connection point from one lot to another. It finally let out at another parking lot and a very nice picnic area. We searched for the continuation of the trail and couldn’t locate it, so we headed back to the Kiwanis lot. I didn’t take many pictures of this trail because there wasn’t much to see.
The loop is 1.2 miles (http://phoenix.gov/PARKS/smtnlarge.pdf) in length. It might not be a very exciting hike, but if I was to picnic, I would consider using the Las Lamotas picnic area.
