George 'Doc' Cavalliere Park
A short desert trail to a sunset peak on Scottsdale's edge
About this park
A north-Scottsdale park tucked up against the desert with a short trail up to a lookout peak, shaded picnic areas, and dog drinking fountains at ground level. Leashed walks here are more scenic than most city parks; sunset and golden-hour views from the peak are the draw.

Before you go
Rattlesnakes have been reported on the trail, so keep dogs leashed and on the path, especially in warm months. The entrance sits right next to a fire station and is easy to drive past, so slow down on the approach.
