## About White Tank Mountain Regional Park

White Tank Mountain Regional Park protects rugged ridges and canyons west of Phoenix. Its name comes from depressions scoured into pale granite by floodwater, and its desert landscape offers broad views from a large mountain setting.

## Mapped hiking trails.
