About this event


Hello Hikers! Join us as we complete this moderately challenging 4.5 mile hike through the scenic McDowell Sonoran Preserve on the Gateway Loop trail. This trail is known for its beautiful desert views and slightly rocky terrain. The loop starts with a climb up to the saddle, then back down to the start. The elevation gain on this hike is approx. 700 feet, so come prepared for some hills to get your heart pumping!  

Afterwards, coffee or breakfast or lunch or gas at The Thumb (optional). 

Meet: at 8:45am at the Gateway trailhead to be ready for a 9:00 start. Bring:  Plenty of water, a hat, hiking poles. Wear sturdy hiking shoes/boots, sunscreen.
Parking: Plenty of free parking.
Water: Yes, at trailhead.
Bathrooms: Yes, at trailhead.
