If you want to climb A Mountain in Tempe, then set your feet on the path though Hayden Butte Preserve. Make sure you bring comfortable shoes and a water bottle for your daytime hike overlooking Tempe Town Lake and downtown Tempe. Wander past the carved and painted “A” for ASU, and keep an eye out for native petroglyphs left by the Hohokam.
