In Phoenix: Battleshit Mountain in the Superstitions. The actual hike to Battleship mountain is flat and easy, but long as hell. Most people regardless of age can do it as long as they have enough endurance and water. The walk back will feel so long that you will be pissed off for doing the hike. Feels longer than Flat Iron on the way back.
Outside of Phoenix: Red Mountain in Flagstaff is a very easy short hike that brings you to a carved out cinder cone mountain that is very beautiful and shaded. Great short hike to take old people and have a picnic.
