Description

Desert Park Trail runs from the McDowell Sonoran Preserve north and loops back providing access to Gateway Loop Trail, Windgate Pass Trail and Tom's Thumb Trail. The west portion of the trail (runs N/S) is cruisey, mellow and hard-packed. The eastern portion (runs W/E) begins sandy and packed, then turns into a steady, rockier climb.

This trail is a fun return route to the parking lot from the neighboring Gateway Loop Trail. As with many trails in the vicinity, it has a potential for wildlife sightings.
