Need to Know

There is a very small parking lot at Scottsdale Rd and Princess Dr, but it's not really an "official" trailhead. This trail can get very soggy and muddy after rain.

Description

This trail is continuous with the Reach 11 trail system just west of 56th St, so it is a continuation rather than the start of a new trail. The trail runs underneath 56th St, goes along the Reach 11 dike, and ends at the intersection of Scottsdale Rd and Princess Blvd. Has very nice views of the McDowell Mountains as you run eastward.

Flora & Fauna

Not the most scenic trail and consists of mostly scrub Mesquite trees.
