Nice short-ish drive from the hellhole that is Phoenix in the summertime (or year-round…). There’s about a ten degree temperature drop as you get up in elevation. We wandered around town for a bit with our dogs (downtown is just a few blocks around the main courthouse square), had some tasty Mexican food at Hugo’s, and then went out to Lynx Lake for a short hike. Definitely a great daytrip/camping option.
