Nature is always the first thing that comes to mind when looking for free things to do. Hiking is a great way to plan a fun day without spending more than gas money to take you there. Camelback Mountain close to Phoenix has two major hiking trails – the Echo Canyon Trail and the Cholla Trail – which are not always easy, and can be quite steep. But if you are able and have the physical condition to do some serious hiking, you will enjoy the great views of Phoenix on these trails.
There are also a few rock climbing sites close to the trails.
Encanto Park can be another fun nature escape. There are paddle boats you can rent but you can also plan a fun afternoon or a family picnic and bring a badminton game or foot ball, plan a afternoon of outdoor games!
Papago Park
If you like outdoor activities you will enjoy Papago Park.
