Desert Discovery Ride

Join the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy's Desert Discovery Ride

This intermediate ride led by a Conservancy Steward starts at the Fraesfield trailhead, giving access to the splendid sights behind Granite and Cholla Mountains. Over 3 hours and 12-15 miles, we’ll take in four distinctly different, yet spectacular views of the Preserve, with accompanying variations in flora and fauna. At times, we’ll be stopping to talk about the history of the area, variations in the land, cacti and succulents you see, as well as other routes you could explore when you next venture out.

Note: This is a McDowell Sonoran Conservancy event led by Conservancy stewards. To join, you MUST sign up for this event at the Conservancy website.
