To reduce wildfire risk, the McDowell Sonoran Preserve will close at noon on July 4. Fireworks are prohibited in the preserve and throughout Scottsdale. "Closed" signs will be posted at all trailheads and access points, and Scottsdale park rangers, preserve staff and stewards will be on-site to inform visitors about the closure and elevated fire danger.
