“Thunderbird Conservation Park is a 1,185-acre park devoted to protecting the desert climate. Approximately 15 miles of multi-use trails were established, thanks to the efforts of many volunteer groups. The park offers approximately 15 miles of multi-use trails. The elevation gain of the trail is 1420 feet. The trail is a loop, and the time taken to complete the total trail is 3 hours and 35 minutes. The park provides easy opportunities for residents of the Valley seeking to enjoy the outdoors. Three viewing blinds are available from the Pinnacle Peak Road trails, and the fourth is open to older people and is located off 59th Street. These blinds offer to watch the 50+ different bird species and wildlife drawn to the human-made water feature in the park. Thunderbird Conservation Park features a decorative block wall with a viewing, benches, and a pathway to connect them. Hikers can use a walking stick to help avoid endangering wildlife. Hiking to the top of the mountain provides views and some great photo opportunities.”
