Trail 100 aka. Charles M. Christiansen Memorial Trail is one of the longest trails in the Phoenix Mountains Preserve which is located in the middle of the Phoenix Valley.  It leads from Mountain View Park at 7th Ave. and Cheryl Dr. and ends 10.7 miles further at Tatum Boulevard in Paradise Valley.

Along the way you will hike along several neighborhoods like Christy Cove, The Preserve, and others.  The route will take you South East past the Pointe at 7th St. (through a tunnel) then toward the I-51 freeway under which there is a tunnel to get across by foot or by bike.  From here you will be able to see the peak of Camelback Mountain.  Once past the freeway you will be at the Dreamy Draw Recreation Area, this is also a good place to start the hike if you just want to take it from here.  Dreamy Draw is the heart of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve.  This is a beautiful area to live in as well.  See homes in the Dreamy Draw area. 

From here you will continue East toward Piestewa Peak.  The trail ends at Tatum Boulevard in Paradise Valley.
