Kovach Family Nature Trail

Great “starter” trail if you have small kids, was a little too easy for our family. It was nice, but we probably should have just done the large trail only.

Easy hike with gentle incline and great views of the valley.

What a trek. Great walk, easy with no major or technical parts and imho even for kids. Well accessible trail, with relatively few people. Visited in march in ideal weather, it could very well be brutal during summer with heat. Drink and take with you plenty of water. Great cactuses, views and nature.

We drove here from downtown phoenix with our 4 year old daughter. What an absolutely beautiful place! It started near the parking lot when we saw a road runner sneaking off to the bushes. Parking was plentiful and we were able to park close to the trailhead. A helpful volunteer at the entrance gave us advice on a good trail to hike with our daughter. Beautiful cacti, nice vistas, and clearly marked trails made everything enjoyable. We didn’t go far but it was enough to have a great time. We went back to the trailhead where they had nice clean restrooms. Definitely a great place to visit and worth the drive!

Easy double loop trails done with small children on less than 40 minutes with great views of mountains and interpretive signs. Good introduction to AZ plants and scenery. Highly recommend for quick mostly flat walk.
