Hiking in Scottsdale: 9 Best Trails

"The McDowell Sonoran Preserve is home to more than 200 miles of trails, but one of the most prominent (and popular) is the Gateway Loop. You'll find plenty of spring wildflowers on this moderately difficult 4.4-mile hike. If you want to avoid the crowds (and the heat), plan on an early-morning or evening excursion." - Travel + Leisure Editors
