Requirements: You must love stairs. You must have long legs. 
So we did a loop that started on the Freedom Trailhead with several elevation changes for over 2 miles. Then after being tired, you’ll start up endless switchbacks for a little over 1/2 mile until you reach the intersecting saddle with Piestewa Peak Trail then start up over a mile of endless rock stairs and steep bouldering… whew, a workout for sure. The views are amazing. I recommend morning hours while temps are still under 80 degrees.
