Brown's Ranch TH is one of the main trailheads of the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. \n\nThis morning the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy was hosting a hike and history walk. That's not the actual name but that's basically the breakdown. We would hike for a little while and then get a briefing on some of the history that had affected Arizona. Anything from, horrible plagues that killed thousands of people or grand massacres in the name of God, Gold and Glory... it was pretty sweet. \n\nAnywho, I haven't had a chance to do a great deal of exploring here. We were on the Brown's Ranch Road trail today and it would be easy for anyone of even minimal fitness level. It's quite flat and not rugged.\n\nI want to come back and check out the mountain summit trails. Based on the map, it looks like there are two close to this TH, Cone Mtn and Brown's Mtn. Those may be more of a challenge. I'll update later. \n\nThere's plenty of parking at this TH. At least there was on a weekday morning. I haven't been here on the weekend.  There's also a large building with bathrooms similar to the other Preserve trailheads. \n\nIf you haven't hiked in the Preserve, it's a must-do. Whether it's here or at one of the other trailheads, just get out there and enjoy it. Happy Hiking!
