Join Ranger Jacque for an invigorating 6.3-mile fitness hike through the stunning McDowell Mountain landscape. We'll traverse sections of the Pemberton, Granite, Bluff, and Stoneman Wash trails, experiencing about 400 feet of elevation gain. The terrain includes rocky and sandy wash sections, making this a moderate-rated trail, yet challenging due to its length. Please know your limits and come prepared. Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, bring plenty of water, and apply sun protection (hat, sunscreen). Restrooms and water are available at the trailhead where we will meet. No pets, please.
