Piestewa Peak, Mountain summit in Phoenix, United States.
Piestewa Peak rises to 2,608 feet in elevation within the Phoenix Mountains, featuring a 2.4-mile round trip trail through desert terrain.
The peak received its current name in 2003 to commemorate Lori Piestewa, the first Native American woman soldier who died during military operations in Iraq.
The summit trail attracts over 500,000 visitors annually, making it the second most frequented hiking path in Arizona after the Grand Canyon's Bright Angel Trail.
The trail gains 1,200 feet in elevation through multiple switchbacks, with facilities including restrooms and water stations available at the base parking area.
Hikers reaching the summit gain clear views of both the Phoenix and Scottsdale skylines, with visibility extending to South Mountain Park on the horizon.
