New Troon North Hiking Trails to Open

The McDowell Sonoran Preserve has recently celebrated the debut of its newest trailhead, located right in Troon North, between the entrances to Talus and Boulder Crest. These Troon North hiking trails are part of 13,000 acres of new land over the past three years, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve has aimed to pay back the public, whose tax money helped fund the expansion. The Brown’s Ranch Trailhead provides greater accessibility to over 50 miles of trails, including those that lead up to Brown’s Mountain.

The 13,000-acre expansion came with a price tag of $218.3 million. This was covered in part by a voter-approved sales tax and by matched funds from the state program, Growing Smarter. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve now reaches 27,800 acres, though the goal is to expand to around 34,000 acres. The Preserve’s purpose is to protect the natural landscapes and ecosystems, as well as to maintain the lands’ precious connection to the Tonto National Forest.

The Brown’s Ranch Trailhead is scheduled to officially open at sunrise on October 19^th, just in time for the hiking season to kick back up. Contact me to find out about any Troon North homes for sale. You can reach me at (602) 791-0536 or at Carmen@TopScottsdaleHomes.com.
