Great place to walk and hike. Has several different trails you can use for different levels of difficulty. Beautiful scenery from each trail. Only drawback is there isnt a big parking area.

An amazing place to hike, jog or mountain bike! If you have a newborn it has a couple mile paved path that you can jog on its our go to spot.

Love this park! So many trails and you can make your hike as easy or difficult as you want!

Probably one of the best recreational areas in the greater valley, in my opinion. The scenery here is beautiful and you can see almost every part of the valley from these mountain tops. Theres so much to see and do out here, from mountain biking to hiking, just to general exploring. Be sure to keep the area clean and pick up after yourself, we all want this area to be enjoyed for years to come and generations to come as well.

Plenty of trails to climb, I am very pleased with this mountain

Nice hiking area! Lots of trails for mountain biking, including a nice paved path as well. Some trails provide a decent amount of shade as well.

Dreamy Draw is part of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. There are plenty of trails to hike that connect to other part of the preserve and even other parts of the city. Its nice to have a nature preserve right in the middle of the city.

Great place for a hike but leave before the sun goes down there is a chance a creepy old man will stare at you for an awkward amount of time, I suppose hoping for a date. I am not making this up it happened to me after my run, and I was changing my shoes and putting my sweaty shirt and pack in the trunk. I am a 46-year-old guy, and even though I wasnt scared, it was odd and creepy. Are the dating websites that hard for the elderly to understand? The longtime reputation of Dreamy Draw Park is still well deserved. I guess the name has a real meaning. I wonder who named it.

This is an excellent place to hike and it offers several trails to go around. Today I chose Trail 100. It is definitely a more moderate level Trail, if youre just starting out hiking you may want to wait a few weeks and Hike some easier level trails before you hike this Trail. There is a decent amount of parking, but it does tend to get full in the mornings. There isnt much shade on the trails, so dont be Reckless when trying to hike here.

Dreamy Draw is a favorite place for me and my 4legged buddy to hike. It is right in the middle of Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Easy access off 51 and Northern and from here you can head west or east on Trail 100. If you want to be more adventurous, you can take your pick of trails that branch off, and easily find your way back. Beautiful, lots of cacti. Youd never know youre in the middle of a huge metropolitan city.

Great area for beginner and intermediate hikers with some advanced stuff off the normal path. Looked like some good biking trails and did see some biking down the paths. Had alot of fun and really enjoyed myself!!

Took this trail to Piestewa Peak and back, it was a gorgeous hike. The wildflowers were in bloom and the views were stunning. Not nearly as crowded as Piestewa.

Lots of fun at Dreamy Draw! The rec area is a bit smaller, however the trails are fun and scenic. Trails range from novice to expert, allowing fun for the entire family! We went on Trail 100, as that is my favorite. About a 45min hike around the mountain, with plenty to see and do. If you havent visited Dreamy Draw yet, put it on the list!

I didn’t have much time to spend here, however it’s good for short, long or in between walks/hikes. Lots of people brought their dogs. Not as crowded as some parks. I will come back when I have more time to explore.

Great trails, very clean also you can ride your bike on the trails.

Really nice place for hiking and biking. Trials vary in sizes and difficulty. Maps is hard to understand though. And the poles along the trail are old and not updated. Still a really nice place. Youll rarely come across a trail where you bump into a lot of people on the way. Very spacious. Ive seen people of all ages come here. Very dog friendly as well.

Beautiful day...another great hike!

A phoenix gem right in the heart of the mountain preserve. A great place for hiking biking cookouts social gatherings and more.

I expected more. I just came in to take a look around not very many good photo ops Ill go back again and walk a trail

Trails are a little rocky, some really good views though

Lots of trails. Lots of fun!

Spider web of amazing trails. Very easy and very hard. Good sumit and great place for pictires. Doesnt seem like a place that gets to busy. Good for your dog too.

I hiked the Irregular Link trail and it was a very relaxing hike with a nice elevation gain, great views, not too crowded. Just perfect!

Great hike. Did the trail 100 and it was beautiful.

Had a Blast with my boy, Nick! Beautiful views and places to take great desert car photos.

So many hiking trails. Bikers, hikers, horses and scenery. Even when it gets crowded you can find yourself peacefully alone. Theres always something new to see, something new in each season. A local treasure.

Beautiful area.. first time visiting AZ from the Midwest. Love the hiking trails and landscape.

Beautiful. Lots of hiking trails for all levels of fitness. Bike path. Restrooms. Picnic tables. Ive seen all age groups. Bring water!

Great hiking trails/ beautiful sunsets I just love it. Kids like it too. You can go for a walk or take your bike!!

Beautiful place to hike, bike or ride horses.

Beautiful trails. Maps and a trails a bit tough to follow.

Nice trails in heart of city but very poorly marked. Sign posts have worn off. They have taken doors off rest room stalls (probably due to past problems) so theres no privacy offered.

Their are a lot of trails to choose from and vary clean park.

Sooo beautiful looved that its dog friendly. It has multiple types of trails from easy through intermediate. The views are gorgeous just make sure to have lots of water and try to go early in the morning or late in the evening bec. it gets realy hot!!

Well kept recreation area with great views. Gorgeous place to get back-to-nature without leaving the metro. Well paved bike path for biking, as well as, more challenging dirt trails.

Hiking paradise right in town.

Pristine mountains in the Phoenix mountain preserve… Dog friendly but they must remain on a leash. Leave no trace

This area offers a wonderful experience for walking and hiking. There are many trails, some easy, some moderate, some more strenuous that are well maintained and have wonderful views. It was a great pleasure for us to spend hours walking and hiking in Dreamy Draw. If youre looking for trees, forget about it. These hiking trails are GREAT from late Sep to early May. NOT recommended during the summer months as there is NO SHADE. The trails vary in difficulty. Some offer GREAT views. So many trails to choose from. Great for bicyclists too.

Special mountain for beginners, they are moderate and simple, you can take several routes without much effort.

Paved hike option and nice views

We recently moved to the area from out of state (surprise surprise). My daughter and I did an impulse stop at this park and the very moment we stepped on the trail we fell in love. We were here at dusk and the view of the sun setting in the horizon over the city was a true life post card. Its a really beautiful & calm place

Beautiful park! Great trails for all levels of hikers & mountain bikers. Sad people don’t just clean up after their dogs. That’s not the parks fault it’s the dirty people. WATCH YOUR STEP! that’s all we’ll say.

The time flies here

Thats some great Trails for mountain biking

Good spot for a morning hike. Parking fills up early on weekends. Some great views and valleys where you can’t hardly tell you’re in the middle of the city.

It’s a beginner hiking park. Awesome natural view in the middle of the city.

Great place to hike when the weather permits, not enough options for mountain biking.

Great trails and great views! Parking can be limited at times but no more then a 5 minute wait.

My family and I really liked hiking here. Even my 4 year old daughter loved hiking here. It was so fun climbing up those mountains with my family. Stay on the trails though. I noticed some people had veered off and partied a little.. It was a great place with plenty of outdoors environments to enjoy. Definitely felt like freedom out there. I even saw a coyote in the distance which was really awesome. I always saw rabbits, quail, lizards, and adorable ground squirrels, so it was very fun being close to nature.

Nice trails. From short to long trails. I would suggest it.

Amazingly beautiful area to hike. Great views. Serene and peaceful.

Definitely a great place to get your hike, walk or ride on!! Praise the Lord!!!

Great hiking spot! For for any kind of hiking difficulty, it even has some benches made out of rock every now and then to sit an rest if needed.Amazing place for nature and landscap photography! Great shoots of downtown, sunsets, etc...Keep an eye open for some Arizona’s finest animals! I’ve seen a couple of snakes and a big Bee hive so be smart and safe out there, it is a beautiful place but be careful I can’t stress that enough.Highly recommend hicking in the fall and winter seasons it’s way more enjoyable and when we have rain cells far from the peak Belive me you pictures will look amazing!!!So if you are into nature, hiking, photography and upping your hiking skills or just wanna have the expierance of hiking this will be the PERFECT Spot for you!

Lots of trails for all hikers including little ones and seniors. Theres a paved trail if you prefer that. Bike riders, theres even room for you. Pick your preference, a rocky trail or a paved trail. Overall great place to enjoy the outdoors.

So many diffetent trails from easy to expert

What a convenient location for some nature close to the city. There are lots of trails to hike, bike, run and/or walk. The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful to look out. I really enjoyed our 5 mile hike!

As a person that seldom goes hiking the trail was moderately easy. Its very nice because the base of mountain has a concrete sidewalk perfect for bikes and beginner hikers that want to get used to elevation conditioning.

Multiple trails to connect to. Good leg workout

It was a nice hike. HOT but still beautiful

Variety of trails makes these less frequented paths ideal to hike with social distance

Good parking, nice paved path, bathrooms and lots of hiking trails through the mountains.

Awesome views. Can walk leisurely or hike hardcore. If your a mountain biker trails are decent. FYI hikers watch out for the rude mountain bikers that go 100 mph past you on the pavement. Other than that its a great spot.

Great spot to hike, bike, ride horses rollerblade, walk your fur kid(s) and even have a small get together in their gazebo area. I highly recommend Dreamy Draw!

Very pretty and relaxing.

A great place to get outside--very impressive variety of trails for what is technically a city park in the middle of the 5th largest metro area in the US...

I absolutely love this place. Ive been coming here since I was a little kid. I live on the other side of the freeway. My mom would always hike us there to get energy out. And play in the horse trough bc we didnt have a pool lol. Awww the good ol days

It is a nice place to bike.

Great multi use trail system in the middle.of Phoenix

Beautiful and big... Lots of trails and scenery... To hot in the summer to go but this time of year is perfect... Take a compass and a long sleeve shirt if you plan to stay out after dark... It gets real cold in the desert for the next few months...

Incredibly beautiful scenery. Im from Illinois so we dont get this and I would definitely do it again when Im out here

One of my favorite hiking trails. Love the smooth service to either push a stroller or wheelchair while others take the hiking paths

Good place to walk and yoga

Not too much of a fan for this area. Its a very urban hike, so you can still see the city from the trail, and along certain parts of the trail, I even spotted some litter.Parking was very limited as well in the evening after work... Trail were not very well marked either.At the very least though, I am happy I got a decent workout here on a pretty beginner friendly loop, but I dont think I will be back anytime soon.

Very nice desert hiking. Some trails (like 100) well marked. I occasionally get lost, but thats hiking. Get a compass app.

Lots of trails and many beautiful views.

I love the area love to bike love to hike although my only complaint is its become really popular lately today there was a line of cars waiting for parking spots its not the place Ive been hanging out in the last 20 years oh well thats what happens when a cool spot gets found out and people rant about it on Google whoops

Love this place great views and the hummingbirds are friendly as hell. A great Hiking place.

This is an amazing place. Miles of amazing trails for all difficulty levels, great public facilities, and super close to the city.

On the weekends the parking lot can fill up but its nice on a Tuesday morning. There is a lot of trails that can be a bit confusing to follow its probably a good idea to come with a planned route.

Great view, lots of trail choices. Love the blooming puppies!

You can have fun while walking around the Dreamy Draw Recreation Area. This is the place where you see that beautiful scenic landscape as you are driving along on the 51. This place is very cool and it is well worth checking it out.

My family vome here almost every weekend. Its such fun and have alot of trails from beginners to experience. Would recommend this to families trying to get some fresh air

Great park! The trails are a ton of fun to bike on.

This is a easy hike. Really pretty views and so easy to get your excercise for the day.

I dropped by on a rainy day. Things cleared up for a sec so I was able to stop by for a quick hike. It was definitely worth the view! ️️️️️️Dreamy Draw Park sits off Northern Avenue and State Route 51. It’s a desert landscape with sprawling hills, steep mountains and secluded valleys.  Did you know Dreamy Draw was a name residents coined in the early 20th century to describe the area where miners spent long and arduous day? “It was said that the miners in this area would leave and be in a dreamy state so they were coming back from the Dreamy Draw, said John Southard, a Phoenix-area historian.That’s because of what the miners were looking for. Southard said miners here began digging for copper in 1916. But instead, discovered a significant amount of cinnabar. That’s a mineral that’s processed down to extract mercury — which was a commodity at a time when a world war was raging. “In fact, mercury is a neurotoxin and working with mercury can have some very interesting effects on people. If you were to be in a mine shaft or working with materials, processing it, things like that, it is entirely likely that it could have an impact on your health and state of mind, Southard said.Despite its value at the time, this area produced fewer than a hundred 76-pound flasks of mercury. Mining operations shut down in the 1940s. By the late 1980s, the government decided to build a highway. When the area was surveyed for construction, mining equipment was found and removed.

I love hiking here. Trails are really nice but watch your step. People bring their dogs which is cool, but dont always pick up after them. Always remember to bring water including for your pet even for short hikes.

One of my favorite hikes. Also a great path to run on, centrally located bathroom.

Great hiking. water fountains, and public restroom available

Pretty nice place! There are lots of different types of trails, although they are not labeled well once you actually get on the Trail. The dog owners had their dogs leashed, so that was okay. Great views, and there was a paved walkway for those who dont like the rough Terrain

Gorgeous area to get outdoors and breathe fresh air!

Nice place to hike, have a picnic or a meeting. Plenty of picnic tables.

Not too hard to hike.

Amazing beautiful Gods great creations nice people who greet you

One of the many great valley hiking areas.

Beautiful gem of a park, right in the middle of the metro area. I hiked the Perl Charles Memorial Loop today; this has a mix of flat straight-aways and steep climbs over narrow passes, plus several trails that criss-cross the PC. Its at least 4.8 miles per the park maps, but 5.9 according to another, so this trails path may have been altered at some point. Its a great hike if you want something more intense than a nature loop.

We did the 1A trail....very well marked.

Was such a nice place to go hiking on Christmas day

Its a great place to hike. There are many trails to explore.

Nice park. The paved trail is a nice walk. Its pretty clean besides some people not picking up after their dogs. Its usually pretty busy in the mornings.
