McDowell Sonoran Preserve Trails

A couple of weeks ago, before it got hot (anything under 100 is not hot to an Arizonan), my sister and I took a hike in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.  We hiked the Gateway Loop trail on a late Sunday afternoon.  It's remarkable to still be in the Phoenix Metropolitan area but feel like you are out in the desert, away from civilization.  I wanted to share some of the photos I took of the hike.

The McDowell Sonoran Preserve is located off Thompson Peak Parkway in North Scottsdale. There are a variety of trails in the preserve so go check them out!  And of course, always make sure to carry water with you!
