Review & FAQ:

The official name of this mountain is Tempe Butte, but it is also sometimes referred to as both Hayden Butte and A Mountain because of the large gold 'A' painted on the top. Visitors may recognize the mountain because of its frequent appearances as a background to games held in the Sun Devil Stadium. The mountain's summit sits at 1,398 feet, and the trail up to the top is just under a mile round-trip with approximately 250 feet of elevation gain. The trail is accessible and suitable for use all throughout the year, and dogs are permitted if kept on a leash.
