    North trail. McDowell Mountain Regional Park Track (3/28/21, 8:58:56AM)
    Awesome nature hike with 20 plants identified with a marker and accompanying brochure. Awesome even with few flowers. Maybe in 2-3 weeks there will be flowers. Maybe 20’ elevation change.

    Wagner Trail McDowell Mountain Reg Park
    Not my favorite. Probably wouldn’t do it again. It was easy, but it’s good for the people that are camping near by. It could’ve been me, but in my opinion it’s not a real loop. Wagner turns into Granite which is fine, but then Granite trail dumps you into the campgrounds and the. I had to walk back along the road the last quarter to half mile to get back to Wagner trailhead. Again, could’ve been my crappy navigation skills but I was using a gps map.....

    This is a great beginner hike, kid-friendly hike also. Beautiful scenery and the cliff section has safe railing. The kids, 6 yo girl, 8 & 10 yo boys all loved it.
