Trail Description We are perched on the edge of the Tonto National Forest so there are hundreds of miles of trails to explore right out our back gate. From sandy washes perfect for legging up your horses to remote mountain trails to spectacular Sonoran desert scenery, theres something for everyone. A half mile down the road you can also explore the Scottsdale Sonoran Preserve, which offers 32,000 acres and 215 miles of marked trails that connect to the Tonto National Forest. Weve been riding out here for 30 years and still find new spots to explore!
