The McDowell Sonoran Preserve offers about two dozen different hikes. One moderate hike of 4.5 miles is the Gateway Loop. There is also a small interpretive nature loop near the trailhead. Great views are possible after the storm yesterday, as the air should be clear. The Preserve is over 17,000 acres with the 6,800 acres recently purchased by the City of Scottsdale. 6,400 acres more will be added this year, linking the Preserve to the Tonto National Forest.
