Gateway Loop
- March 22 · 10:00 AM
This hike is rated INTERMEDIATE.
We'll meet near the restrooms at the Gateway entrance to Scottsdale's McDowell Sonoran Preserve. This hike will be paced at a mild rate, not an extreme fast fitness pace.These hikes will start on time and the expectation is that it will end at or before the stated end time for those who do need to get to work. The hikes may vary each week, but will be 5 miles or less in length and should be done in less than 2 hours. We like to start on time All the trails and intersections in McDowell Sonoran Preserve are well-marked. This hike is cross posted with Greyhawk Hiking Club and Phoenix 2-Hour Beginner Hiking Club. Please hydrate well the day before hiking and bring lots of water, snacks, and a camera.
