Distance: 1.5 miles out-and-back What to expect: Cholla Trail is a slightly longer and steadier climb than Echo Canyon, but that doesn't mean it's not tricky. Lower portions are easier to follow, but the last third of the climb is a challenging scramble over large boulders.
Have lunch at our favorite go-to spot. Enjoy delicious street tacos paired with an ice cold margarita (spicy if you like it hot) while relaxing on the patio. Don't forget to try their famous Brussel Sprout Nachos.
