Governor Hunt Tomb — Attraction in Phoenix

A very interesting pyramid on a hill in Papago Park, right beside the Phoenix Zoo. There are 11 people buried inside the tomb. All that info is on a small sign.

From here you can see some of the Zoo animals. Most noticeable are the Giraffes, and a few other animals that are in the same area with the Giraffes. Other animals that can be seen while sitting on the bench by the tomb are: Coyote's, Javelina, Lion, I've actually seen the Jaguar (which is fairly far away), Bald Eagle, some kind of white horned deer, and on the small mountain by the little parking area you can often see Long Horned Mountain Sheep (see photo)

Also from Hunt's Tomb you can see the famous Hole in the Rock, that is located in the same park (Papago Park). A must do. You will most likely see people inside the cave, and maybe even a person or two up on the very top. (you might even see me up there lol)

This park is a perfect place to bring the family for a picnic, and to spend...

There's a limited about 6 spots of parking right in front, or you can park further down and walk. While there were only stairs and no accessible sidewalk up- if you park up at the Governor Hunt Tomb lot- you can also just see the tomb from your car, and at the start of the path- there's an interpretive sign so you can read more. If you decide to go up, it's a short set of stairs, or there's also an "unmarked" gravel ramp too. It takes about 5 minutes to go about. The tomb is fenced off, but there's more interpretive signs around. The other added plus are the beautiful 360 views of Papago park, and you can even see Phoenix downtown and the airport....

Governor Hunt’s Tomb is a hidden gem with incredible views and fascinating history. This unique white pyramid, set against the Arizona desert landscape, is both impressive and serene. Located at Papago Park, the tomb offers a quiet place to reflect while learning about Arizona’s first governor, George W.P. Hunt, and his contributions to the state. The site is well-maintained and provides a beautiful vantage point for sunsets and panoramic views of Phoenix. It’s a must-visit for history buffs or anyone looking for a memorable spot in the area.
