Temporary Trailhead Closure
The 136th Street Trailhead, located on the south side of the McDowell Mountains, will be closed until late 2015.

The city of Scottsdale Water Resources Division is working to upgrade a water pump station located at the 136th Street Trailhead. The trailhead will be closed during the construction project, which is expected to continue through late 2015.

As part of the water pump station upgrade, the city will be adding additional parking spaces at the trailhead, ultimately improving access for trail users when the project is complete.

During this closure, you can access the Preserve at the Sunrise, Lost Dog Wash, or Ringtail Trailheads.
