Overview
Description
Starting at the Apache Wash Trailhead, the route exits the trailhead back to Dove Valley Rd and crosses. A few hundred feed to the west, the
Sonoran Desert Trail takes off to the south as a vehicle accessible dirt road. Stay to the left of the dam and then veer off to the left behind the rusted rail fence entering the Phoenix Preserve. The trail climbs a bit and intersects the
Cactus Wren Trail.
From here, one can explore the trails of the Phoenix Preserve South section. The route continues on the
Cactus Wren Trail to the
Valle Verde Trail and follows it until just before the intersection with the
Desert Tortoise trail. There is an unsigned, but well-used trail going to the right. It connects to the
Dixie Mountain Bypass trail and follows it down until it comes out at Sonoran Desert Road and Paloma Parkway. (A more difficult option for the route is to follow the
Valle Verde Trail to the
Dixie Mountain Loop and down the
Bobcat trail.) The route continues by following the
Sonoran Foothills trail up to Dove Valley Road.
Crossing Dove Valley Road, the route enters the
Ocotillo Trail a few hundred feet to the west. The route follows the
Ocotillo Trail back to the trailhead. For an easier route, the tired rider can follow the paved
Skip Rimsza Paseo back to the trailhead.
