My husband and I came here in the late afternoon using GPS on our phones to find it. It was our first visit. The significance of this is that the GPS tells you and the signs show you that the road to the Victory Steps is closed. HOWEVER the GPS voice will tell you that you are still welcome to hike the steps, just park in the parking lot heading right (east) at the round about. I can't remember the verbiage used if it is called the community center or clubhouse parking lot. You are welcome to park there and head to the steps. We did and no one was there but us. We weren't asked to leave nor were we removed. I am just going off of our experience and what our GPS system told us to do. We enjoyed our visit and plan on going back often before the heat sets in. I feel it was perfect and I didn't feel overwhemed even though I hadn't been hiking in a while. read more

Great spot to get some sun and get some solid cardio in! You can pace yourself on the steps and also work with the trails which have different difficulty levels. Right next to a golf course and cozy town. read more

Beautiful hike if anyone wants a medium intensity hike. I went around the entire mountain and ended going up and down the stairs 3 times. Not as intense as Piestewa peak but perfect to take the kids. You get great views of Verrado and buckeye. Parking has gotten better, there's a good size parking area near. Usually in the mornings and evenings there are a lot of people. read more

This place is great for exercise! The steps are extremely challenging to climb up, but it feels super rewarding one you get up there and you get beautiful view as well! 100% recommended. read more

My claims that I did not want to climb stairs early in the morning but instead do a light hike fell on deaf ears by my cousin, since she insisted that they were doable for almost everyone. She was the driver, so there was nothing I could do but dread the drive to these steps & pray I would be able to go up them. We went on a Thursday morning, and it was about 102 degrees, which wasn't that bad. The stairs themselves were easy and not very steep. I was surprised, since I thought they would be like the Culver City stairs, those are difficult for me b/c I'm vertically challenged. I'm drama tho & very afraid of heights, so I kept imagining me stepping on a rock & falling to my death. But for everyone who is normal, these stairs are great. We only went up one time tho , b/c I had a lot of errands to run. Next time I go to AZ I will make sure to go up them a few times at least. read more

I loved this place. A quick cardio challenge with a beautiful view. I can't wait to go again.

It was really fun enjoyed it a lot especially with my family. It was easier than I thought it was going to be. Great experience

Bad ass. Just stop at the CVS or Bashas to use the restroom before you get there. We drive in from North Phoenix just to do these steps. It's an amazing workout!! read more

if you are on the west valley, this is a great hike to take advantage of. the steps are the main attraction for this hike but there are a few other routes that you are able to utilize ranging from 3-5 miles of trail. there is designated parking available and a lot of informative signs at the start of the steps. i would recommend scheduling your hike for the late afternoon, early evening to avoid the direct sunlight. due the the sun setting in the west, majority of the hike is on the east side of the mountain so you will have plenty of shade. bring water, watch your step and be aware of your surroundings. read more

Very challenging but awesome people in the community and beautiful views. Great place to workout.

Guys check this out! On my way to one of my favorite coffee stops I changed my mind and made a detour and did this instead. Crazy I know! That's me with the pink Hydro . Located at the end of Verrado Wayand Granite Bluff Dr. In Buckeye driving North you'll see Victory Steps. You literally can't miss them. The pictures really dont do it justice. This trail is rated difficult if not experienced and the steps are steep so I want to warn you in advance. I'm not an every day biker, but I'd like to say I get out when I can. This was my first time (not my last) time out at Victory Steps. I made it about halfway and my legs were already feeling the burn. As you can also hear from my video I was pretty out of breath from the pace I was going as well. Sorry for those who hate loud breathing it was later in the day than I'd of liked since it wasn't my original plan to go and since I only had a half of hydro of water I chose to not attempt to go to the top. The view from where I was were already so beautiful and I could see all the way past Cardinals Stadium. It says no dogs, but I saw a few people with them which isn't a biggie to me. The stairs are made of old railroad ties and are uneven at times, but man what a great workout. If you're like me it's also a challenge. Next goal is to make it to the top! Has anyone else done this? read more

It's a great way to exercise. However if you are clumsy bring a strong friend. Coming down is a bit intimidating. The view from the top is exceptional and well worth the climb read more

A great little jaunt up "a few steps" for a fantastic view. Seriously though, it's only about 0.3 to the very top but it's up all the way. Feel the burn!! I am pretty active and didn't have a hard time. My friend is less active and over 60 and she barely made it up. However, she did it. The views really are great. Would NOT recommend for kids under 12 or dogs. read more

Definitely not for beginners but such a great workout. If you are agraid of heights this might not be for you. With nice weather I it's likely an A+ outdoors workout. Lots of people. You can go it alone or with friends. read more

Great workout that leads to an awesome view! While climbing the steps watch where you step as there are ankle breakers through the climb. This hike will definitely increase the heart rate but don't forget to bring some water and leave the kids and animals at home, as this is for adults only. read more

What a great idea! Very unique and great view from the top. Be careful not to underestimate the intensity of the climb - I have seen many require paramedics to assist. read more

First time here. Had a great time. People of all ages and experience levels can hike here and get a burn. We look forward to adding this into our rotation of hike locations read more

The views are beautiful and the workout is as simple or difficult as you decide to make it. A one up and down, at a steady, moderate pace, with time to enjoy the view would take the beginner hiker 30-45 min. An average for person 20-ish, and those who workout regularly can go up and down, with about a minute at the top to enjoy the view about 10-15 min. Worth it totally!!! read more

I guess I kinda like going here, but it's just gotten too busy for me. It's nice that they added a parking area, but this spot is over crowded. read more

Great spot for a quick workout or scenic view! Can get super hot, even on cool days, so prepare. Can also get crowed, recommend early morning! Fun to take kids or run the dog. Easy to access. Great views of the westside! read more

Great local hike and fitness feature. Hopefully everyone packs out their trash and takes care of it for others.

Someone mentioned there is ample parking but there is not. Police are ticketing. The place is crowded. No social distancing.

Great workout with a great view! I can't wait to hike up them again once they re-open from the construction.

Love this spot for a quick lol warm up workout! It does take some getting use to in the beginning... good little work out for your legs for sure! read more

This spot is serving up a great workout with a couple side orders of spectacular views and friendly humans who share their enthusiasm for staying healthy & fit. Come for the views and stay for the benefits and score your VICTORY! read more

Calm but yet intense workout. A trail I will definitely be back for more of. The views from the top were amazing!

The steps are great for residents who want to get exercise in the fresh air. They're placed carefully alongside the White Tank Mountains, in the Victory community of Verrado. They have parking before you get to the stairs. There are no railings so if you're not able to do this, don't try, it's high. read more

This was a wonderful hike! My friend I and made it all the way to the top, definitely felt a sense of accomplishment. So grateful that she pulled me out of bed to do this. read more

The hike is free, but unless you're willing to pay $64 for parking where you're not supposed to it's probably best to skip this location. The Buckeye Police are actively ticketing any illegal parking. In short, it's overcrowded, the parking is very limited, and people aren't respecting social distancing. The views are great, but it could come at a monetary and health-related cost if you're not careful. There's no additional parking as the other amenities in the development are for patrons and residents only. read more

Get your heart pumping with incredible views and a whole bunch of steps! Good for just about all ages. There's nothing like some fresh air and some stairs. read more

YOU CAN DO IT! Best time to go is morning or early evening. It's not a difficult climb. The view of course is worth it. & after you are done with the Victory Steps why not walk to The Vic Restaurant for some refreshments? read more

This is honestly such a great place for a hike or just to get a great cardio workout. The steps are definitely challenging but worth it.

Don't go here !! Such a pain to find parking or get a ticket. The worst part is all the scorpions and snakes! I heard someone also hit by the jumping chollas! Stay clear. Not worth it! read more

Not sure what the attraction is? Terrible parking, too crowded, people with small children. It's not an easy hike. Not worth the trip out there, better views from Camelback. read more
