10 Biking, hiking, and horseback riding at McDowell Sonoran Preserve
Take a bike ride, walk your dog, or travel on horseback at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. With over 30,000 acres of permanently protected desert habitat, it includes over 225 miles of trails accessible from various trailhead locations. There are ten in all, including the short Lost God Wash Trail with easier, kid-friendly terrain, or the more challenging but scenic Sunrise Trail and its amazing views. Be mindful of the temperature, use plenty of sunscreen, and bring more water than you think you'll need.
