This hike is rated DIFFICULT.
Join me for a hike to Bell Pass in the McDowells! It starts off on a gradual incline, but the last two miles to the Pass holds 1,200 feet of elevation change. At the Pass, you will be rewarded with terrific views of Four Peaks, Superstitions, and the Phoenix Mountains. On the way back, we'll add in the Gateway Loop for a little extra distance and workout. You're encouraged to bring snacks, sun protection of some sort, at least 2-3 liters of water per person and sturdy hiking footwear.
