Last week (I think it was last week), I took the short but steep walk/climb to the top of Hayden Butte in Tempe. Overall, not a bad experience, but I have to say, I was a little disappointed. The walk up only takes about 10 minutes, if that. And it's not as wild and rugged as I was hoping it would be-- there are handrails and primitive stairs and one of the "trails" is asphalt. I guess I should have expected that since a) it's in the middle of Tempe and not in a more remote location and b) there's a big 'A' on the side of the butte (I keep wanting to call it a mountain, but it's not really that big... just big compared to the flat urban-desert landscape surrounding it). Still, I was outside for a bit, and I crossed something off on my Tempe list of things to do (yay). More exciting (hopefully) Tempe stuff to come... and those of you who've been here before or are here now, help a girl out with some suggestions.
