DISCOVER SCOTTSDALE'S
McDOWELL
SONORAN PRESERVE
CRAVING THE FEEL OF A NEW TRAIL UNDER YOUR BOOTS? Head for
Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve! At 30,580 acres (and growing), it's the
largest urban preserve in the nation and offers more than 225 miles of shared-use
trails for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. And you don't have to be
an experienced outdoorsman to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of this
desert gem. There are trails for everyone, from ADA-accessible interpretive paths
to challenging summit climbs.
To help you get started, we've collected some of our favorite Preserve hikes on
pages 22-31. Each hike includes a difficulty rating, turn-by-turn directions and a brief
description of the natural wonders you'll see along the way. You'll also find removable
Preserve maps in the back of this guide - be sure to take them along on your hike.
Access to Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve is free and all 11 Preserve
trailheads are open daily from sunrise to sunset. Leashed dogs are welcome at
the Preserve and several trailheads, including Gateway, Lost Dog, Pima Dynamite
and Brown's Ranch, offer doggie comfort stations.
