Description
Based on the number of people on this short trail within Papago Park, the Hole in the Rock is quite the popular attraction.
You will immediately climb upwards from the parking lot. Join the throngs and masses of people and head to the visible rock mass with a hole in it.
We came up behind the land form. You can climb through the hole and look outward over the Phoenix area. Don’t expect solitude not this one.
