My favorite place to be

yup, it’s practically in my backyard….

I'm in Central Phoenix and usually hike in Dreamy Draw or South Mountain if I can take the time. I love the city views on clear days, the smoggy days are a bit of a bummer! I think I have one of my sunset shots from Dreamy Draw in the gallery here.

I just realized I've not been to the McDowell Preserve yet, I'll have to check it out soon.

take Shea to 124 St, go north where it ends at the trailhead.  Or take Thompson Peak Pkwy (92nd St becomes TPP pass Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd) to Gateway Trailhead (1 mile north of Bell Rd on your right). Both trailheads have variety of trails ranging from 2 miles to well over 10 miles, if you are “motivated”.  Enjoy!
