  • As a kid growing up in the desert, it represented a few things...an obstacle between me and the carnival to traverse at night with no flashlight and a pant leg full of cholla needles, the place where my dog kept disappearing to, and my single mother's idea of a great family outing consisting of metal detecting and rattlesnake hunting. The desert was the place I would leave and to which I would never return. In a cruel twist of fate, I'm back. But as an adult, I've come to appreciate a lot about the deserts. The best sunsets and lightning shows, plant and wildlife that defies all odds, and relative solitude. My husband and I finally decided a proper desert outing was in order and headed to McDowell Mountain Park for a "hike." Check out Norm R's excellent review with all the details about this park. We opted for the North Trail, an easy 3-mile loop that will not test your endurance and is suitable for all fitness levels. Much to my husband's dismay, there are benches along the loop. If I see a bench, my ass will sit on it, whether I need to or not, under the pretense of taking in the scenery. And there is much to take in here. As we were out fairly early for this time of year, we only saw two other people and their delightful Rhodesian Ridgebacks on the trail as they jaunted past us. Otherwise, it was just us, the desert, the birds, the rabbits, and the deer. Yes, I saw a deer again! Granted it was not grazing outside my office or jumping over my car, but there it was, a deer, in the middle of the desert. I was happy to not see a snake or a scorpion which is why January is the perfect time to visit the park. On the way out, we stopped at the visitor center and purchased an annual pass for $75 which allows access to all Maricopa County Parks except Lake Pleasant. I was hesitant with the summers lasting so long, but with the picnic areas and night programs, I'm thinking we can get our money out of this. I'm just hoping this park stays open!
