The volunteer Trailblazers with the Sonoran Conservancy of Fountain Hills have completed another section of trail in the Fountain Hills McDowell Mountain Preserve.
The crew extended what was known as the “Easy Access Trail” up the slope to the Overlook. The name will be changed to the “Overlook Trail.”
It took the group several months to cut the relatively short section of trail through some steep, rocky terrain. Trailblazer lead Bill Craig said they also spent significant time fine tuning the path to address slope and safety concerns.
