Excellent trail for all levels as if it becomes too strenuous, you can turn around. It is well maintained and offers ample rest spots to take in beautiful views of the park, overlooks of golf cours… Full review by amelulu

Q:
I am handicapped and use an electric scooter when travelling. Would the trail at Pinnacle Peak Park be accessible for me either partly or entirely? If not this Park, can anyone tell me easy trails that would accommodate me and my scooter? My husband and I will be in Scottsdale for 1 1/2 days during Memorial Day weekend. Thanks so much for your help!
A:
I don't recommend this trail for a scooter or wheel chair. Too steep and rocky.
Q:
Is there anywhere to store luggage while you hike?
A:
No, I would just lock it in your car. The area feels safe
Q:
Are dogs allowed?
A:
I didn't see any while we were there.
Q:
Would Pinnacle Peak be a good hike for my 9 year olds to hike? We are new to hiking? If not what would you suggest?
A:
Depends on what physical shape your child is in. There were children of all ages hiking when we were there. I would suggest you not hike the whole trail your first time.

Q:
I plan to go hiking at McDowell Sonoran Preserve; will it be pretty much the same type of scenery/views at Pinnacle Peak? Just wondering if it is worth the time to visit both places with limited time.
A:
It depends. If you like desert hikes, the two you describe are different enough to be enjoyable. But if you are the sort of person who might say, "seen one desert, seen them all" …
A:
It depends. If you like desert hikes, the two you describe are different enough to be enjoyable. But if you are the sort of person who might say, "seen one desert, seen them all" they are somewhat similar vistas. They are different levels of challenge too. The Go John trail and Tom Thumb are both significantly more different than the two you mention.
