Reach 11 recreational area barrier free trail - Phoenix AZ

March 11, 2012




This trail was nice and pretty accessible but it was just not marked very well and could kind of be a pain for some people. There was a little bit of a parking lot right off the side of the road so we thought it has to be close to here. So we parked and had enough room to unload and get out.   Then I had to try to get through the gate but if you have somebody push the gate one way and then you can get in there and then have them push it back the other way and you can get through to the other side. There was still no sign about the barrier free trail so we followed a sidewalk that’s next to a dirt road.  Which other people were walking on the sidewalk but it wasn't very wide so everyone else had to get off because there was no way I could.


So we continued for about a half a mile and then finally we see a sign about the barrier free trail. Also there is a sign that says no bicycles which I'll get to.  So we go around the loop, it was a pretty nice trail and we're just enjoying the open space and walking when a family of bicycles passes and then the little sister runs into the brother who was slowing down because it looked like he was about to get stuck if he didn't slow down in a kind of a loose gravel spot in the path.  This was kind of annoying to have to worry about bicycles, especially since they weren't supposed to be on the trail anyways. This was a nice trail for a nice hike, but would have been better without bicyclists because then you don't have to worry about them passing you and/or possibly running into you.


This Trail was not marked well
It was also about a half mile from the parking lot
