I have lived in South Phoenix all my life. That's a great place for hikers. Cool trails for kids too.

I love the trails just off of Chandler Blvd and Desert Foothills Pkwy. Great trail for trail running is the Telegraph trail....

I love this place. Whether you are a beginner or expert, there are trails for every level. And, if you live near Ahwatukee, there is a back entrance off of 48th Street that is so easy to get to and not nearly as intimidating as going in by the main entrance. My grandsons and I love going hiking here. Sometimes it can get a bit crowded for parking but there is another parking lot that the attendant can direct you to that is just as easy. Love it!

Chef Meg's Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Slow cookers aren't just for meat! This is a tasty, affordable one-pot vegetarian meal that's filling and perfect for your slow cooker. You can also add shrimp during the last 20 minutes of cooking. If the dish is a little too spicy for the kids, add 1 Tablespoon of plain yogurt to their serving. Serve with a glass of milk and a cucumber salad. Full Recipe
