Scottsdale AZ – Valley of the Sun Chapter – Granite Mountain Loop Hike

Distance: 6 miles for this easy scenic loop.

Granite Mountain Loop is one of the best places to see wildflowers in the Valley (if we have rain). The trail is mostly sand and fine gravel, very comfortable to walk on with almost any kind of walking/hiking shoes. Total distance is about 6 miles in flat/undulating terrain, with 400 ft of very gradual elevation gain.

There are restrooms but no water at the trailhead so bring your own, along with poles (optional), sun protection, first aid and nutrition. We will be sharing the trail with mountain bikers, other wildflower seekers and horses so pack your Camino spirit.

What to Bring – 2L Water and snack, Hat or sunscreen, Toilet kit, Poles, Personal First Aid Kit, Money (cash) for the Donativo jar if able
