Sitting in the shade on the cool stone of Hole-in-the-Rock, you wouldn’t know it’s a 105-degree Fahrenheit June afternoon in Arizona. Hole-in-the-Rock is a 5-to-10-minute, easy, short hike with Valley views in Papago Park by the Phoenix Zoo.
Its accessibility and central location make it an ideal spot to get outdoors for mental wellness or to experience Phoenix scenery, popular with both tourists and locals alike.
According to the American Institute of Biological Sciences, interactions with nature promote psychological restoration, improved mood, improved attention and reduced stress and anxiety.
