About this hike: Hiked up for the sunset, which was disappointing. Hiked down in the dark, but I came prepared with my headlamp. Since Piestewa Peak trails are open until 11pm (parking area closes at sunset, oddly enough), there were numerous other hikers. Seeing all the flashlights coming down the side of the mountain was pretty cool, like when everyone puts their phones up during a dark concert. Oh, and to mitigate the parking issue, I left my car in a residential neighborhood just off Lincoln Drive. Numerous other hikers were in violation of the no parking after sunset rule, but it didn't appear to be getting enforced.
