in the last weekSolid four stars. The Lost Dutchman hike was an awesome experience overall—super scenic with incredible desert views the entire way. The landscape really stands out, especially with the mountains and wide-open surroundings. It’s a great trail whether you’re going for a relaxed hike or something a bit more challenging. The only downside for me was the entrance fee. Paying $20 to get in felt a bit steep for what it is. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely something to be aware of going in. Overall though, it’s absolutely worth doing at least once. Beautiful hike, just wish the price to enter was a little more reasonable.

in the last weekThe Flatiron course is much more difficult than you might think. It is harder to come down than to go up.
