I’m convinced that half the battle of going hiking is how easily you can access the trails. We lived in a neighborhood in Arrowhead Ranch for three years that was close enough that I could walk into Thunderbird Conservation Park. It was super convenient for accessing trails, and I was much more willing to go.

We have since moved to a smaller home, which is not close to the trails, but I’m dreaming of being close again, so I am always looking for homes that have great access to trails.
