Just in time for the Valley's premier hiking season, a beautiful new trailhead in the Phoenix Sonoran Preserve, north, will be opened at 8 a.m this Saturday. In addition to providing access to over 20 miles of new hiking trails, the site will include restrooms, maps and plenty of parking (no water). I've been driving by this place for months--- like a kid waiting for the candy store to open. And, although I've hiked the trails from the Carefree Highway access points, this trailhead---located along gorgeous Sonoran Desert Drive---will be a major improvement over the amenity-lacking dirt lots.
LOCATION: 1600 E. Sonoran Desert Drive, Phoenix.
GETTING THERE:
From Loop 101 in north Phoenix, take
Cave Creek Road exit 28 and go 4.5 miles north to Sonoran Desert
Drive. Turn left (west) and continue 3.5 miles to the trailhead on
the right.
