Getting There Suggest change

I-10 Elliot Exit west, turn right on Equestrian Trail rd. Obvious park entry is at white water tank. Desert Classic Trail. There is a park bench on the trail at the mouth of the wash bottom of canyon.
The area has become more established over the last several years and there currently exists a GoogleDoc naming over 100 routes. The goal is to share those climbs with Mountain Project users. There are a half dozen ways to enter the Park on the south side, most of them used by people who live in the Ahwatukee area, and most access routes are within residential areas. That being said, please be respectful when parking and hiking to these trails. Parking is also available near Kyrene de las Lomas Elementary school, across the street near a shopping center or at the War Paint Trailhead.
