We think this is one of the most creative and most unusual Guided Walks we have seen so far.

In May 2014, FitPHX, a Phoenix citywide initiative to improve citizen's health and wellness, announced the creation of the Sky Harbor Fitness Trail - a two-mile long trail inside Terminal 4 of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

The trail has eight distinguished spots from which one can observe different features - from nearby mountains over the Phoenix skyline to individual facilities at the airport.

The described viewpoints are:

1. Downtown Phoenix Skyline

2. FAA Control Tower

3. Piestewa Peak

4. Camelback Mountain

5. Sandstone Buttes at Papago Park

6. PHX Sky Train bridge

7. South Mountain Park

8. Air National Guard Center

We arrived in Phoenix around sunset, so we only manage to get pictures of half of the viewpoints, but you'll get the idea.

Brochures describing the trail and its viewpoints can be picked up at every information booth inside the airport. In addition, each viepoint has a marker (that is how we noticed the existence of this great idea).


Viewpoint 1: Downtown Phoenix Skyline


Viewpoint 2: FAA Control Tower

Viewpoint 3: Piestewa Peak

Viewpoint 4: Camelback Mountain
