AZ Central – Scottsdale lays groundwork to add 2 trailheads in perserve

The Arizona Republic

A winding dirt road in far northeast Scottsdale leads to one of the most stunning views in the Valley.

The secluded base at the McDowell Mountains is rife with boulder outcrops and trails popular among hikers and the occasional rock climber.

On weekends, they park along the road to hike and climb the landmark rock spire, Tom’s Thumb. Access can be difficult, since parking is temporary and the roads are unpaved.

The city intends to upgrade the trail to accommodate its popularity.

Tom’s Thumb is one of two trailheads planned in the city’s northern fringes, not far from Troon North and the Desert Highlands community.

The goal is to satisfy a demand for better parking and access into the city’s 18,000-acre McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

“It’s a very popular location,” said Steve Dodd, a longtime steward with the non-profit McDowell Sonoran Conservancy.

Build it and they will come

The city has “always done a great job building impressive trailheads,” said Oliver Smith, chairman of the board of the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy, a non-profit group that supports the completion and sustainability of the preserve.

Existing major trailheads include Sunrise, Lost Dog Wash and the Gateway. As the fourth major trailhead in the preserve, Tom’s Thumb will have parking for 130 cars and horse trailers, shade ramadas and restrooms at the northern foot of the McDowell Mountains.

The City Council postponed a vote last week on a project site plan after concerns arose over proposed improvements to 128th Street, city officials said.

The trailhead is planned east of 128th Street and south of the Pinnacle Peak Road alignment. The extra 30 days will allow stakeholders to discuss the improvements.

“Every time we open a new trailhead, the people come,” said Scott Hamilton, preserve trails planner in the city’s preservation division. “Clearly the demand is there that people want to get into the preserve.”

Excitement building

Less than 10 miles away, the city is planning the Brown’s Ranch trailhead north of Alma School Road and the Dixileta Drive alignment.

Tentative plans call for at least 100 parking spaces and amenities not far from the namesake ranch, which was once a working cattle ranch.

On Nov. 8, the city issued a request for design of the trailhead. Brown’s Ranch, scheduled to open in 2012, will access a network of multiple-use trails that meander through the city’s northernmost preserve.

“We’ve been doing hikes at Brown’s Ranch for several years,” Dodd said.

The trailhead will take into account the surrounding desert landscape while providing new amenities, according to the city.

Dodd, chairman of the conservancy’s community relations committee, said group volunteers will salvage plants at the trailhead areas before construction. The conservancy has more than 450 trained steward volunteers, he said.
