We drove down to the South Mountain Park Preserve south of Phoenix to hike up to Hidden Valley, about 3.8 miles round trip with 800 ft of gain. This is a beautiful area with lovely rock formations.
We started early to avoid the heat of the day.
Along the trail we saw lots of lovely rocks.
Balancing rock
Lovely rocks and saguaro cacti 
one end of Fat Mans Pass
It's a tight squeeze
I decided to go around, as I heard people have gotten stuck in there.
More lovely rock formations
An area to go through the boulders
view from in between and under the boulders
I enjoyed seeing this wonderful landscape.
