One of the most popular hikes in Scottsdale is Pinnacle Peak near Troon North. It is well-marked and offers picturesque scenes of the desert foliage that nature lovers will cherish. When you hike Pinnacle Peak you will enjoy stunning views of the area. This is a great family hike or an opportunity to take visiting relatives for a sunny outing.
By seasoned standards, this is not a difficult hike at all. A round trip will take you through 3.4 miles of scenic trail and a 400 foot elevation gain from the trailhead in around an hour and a half. After a morning hike, the park is a wonderful place for a picnic. Aside from the trail, Pinnacle Peak Park features picnic tables and a ramada for visitors to enjoy a casual brunch after hiking.
Pinnacle Peak Park also offers seasoned events such as guided nature tours, moonlight hikes and astronomy talks. The latest nature walks ended in April but will resume on November 1st. Tours generally take place Tuesday through Sunday starting at 10am. Visitors are treated to around 2 hours of hiking while learning about the wildlife within the park and the history and geology of the area.
