Take a hike on the Javelina Trail, an intermediate 6-mile stretch within South Mountain. There are lots of hills, making it a moderate adrenaline rush for mountain bikers and a great butt and thigh workout for hikers. Be on the lookout for cactuses and rocks, and be aware that the terrain changes after a good rain. Check out one of South Mountain’s neighboring trails after your ride or walk.
