Elua mau mana nui ma Piestewa Peak: ke alanui Summit a me ke alanui Circumference. ʻO ka Summit Trail kahi mamao loa ka heleʻana. ʻO kahi 1.2 mile ka luna. ʻO kahi ala ma kahi kahakai a he ikaika kona. Loaʻa nā wahi kūpono ma ke ala no ka poʻe o mākou e pono ai e lawe i ka hanu a iʻole paha o mākou e makemake nei eʻike i kaʻike o ke kūlanakauhale. He nani nāʻike o ke kūlanakauhale,ʻaʻole ponoʻoe e piʻi i luna loa eʻike iā lākou. Hāʻawi ka Sumil Trail i kahi hana maikaʻi no nā poʻe holokoiʻike. Hoʻohālikeʻiaʻo ia i kahi helehelena kūpono. Ma kahi kiʻekiʻe loa, aia ma kahi 2,608 kapuaʻi,ʻo ka nui o ka piʻiʻana he 1,190 kapuaʻi.
ʻO ke alanui Circumference ma Piestewa Peak lōʻihi ma kahi o 3.75 mile aʻoi aku ka piʻi iki.

No ka heleʻana i ke alanui Circount, e hele i kahi pūnaeweleʻo Summit Trail a hele i ka ramada hope. Ma nā wahi a Piestewa Peakʻoe e hoʻoholo ai e holo i kēia mau lā, eʻikeʻoe e hoʻokomo neiʻoe i nā kāmaʻa hoʻokele hilinaʻi maikai, ka pāpale, nā'ōkani makalani a me ka laweʻana mai i ka wai.
