It's an aggressive climb to the summit and takes about two hours, but you're rewarded with spectacular valley and resort views. Hikes are offered a few mornings a week, year-round - and there's never been a better time to make the trek. The mountain's Echo Canyon Trailhead just reopened after a $4 million renovation, which includes better footing for hikers, plus new parking spaces and water fountains. For a different kind of climb, check into The Boulders (theboulders.com) and book a rock-climbing clinic. The resort is built around 12-million-year-old granite boulder formations, some as high as 75 feet, and expert guides help you scale them like a pro. The clinic is great for beginners, and no experience is needed. http://www.thephoenician.com http://www.theboulders.com http://www.koliequestrian.com http://www.wildhorsepassresort.com http://www.usairwaysmag.com
