Black Diamond - AdvancedNarrow, steep, rugged McDowell Mountain trails
Recommendations: Same as Blue Square. Plus, bring a multi-tool or pliers to remove cactus needles, spines, etc. Novice bicyclists and equestrians are cautioned; expert riders only.
Black Diamond trails should be avoided during the summer months, when wildlife (snakes, bobcat, mountain lion, javelina, deer) may be hungry, thirsty, and/or more prevalent near trails.
Blue Square - IntermediateMostly wide and fl at, unpaved neighborhood trails and wash corridors. All-terrain bicycle and stroller friendly.
Recommendations: Wear hiking or athletic shoes and clothes. Avoid open-toe sandals. Loose fi tting clothing may get stuck or caught on desert vegetation.
Green Circle - EasyWide, fl at, paved neighborhood paths that connect public parks and landmarks. Bicycle and stroller friendly.
Recommendations: Use these paths to comfortably explore your DC Ranch neighborhood and community.
