The "Herb" Made Them Do It
by pseudalpine

 
Overview
Named May 9, 2008, in honor of Herbert Drinkwater, Scottsdale City Councilman 1970 to 1978 and Mayor of Scottsdale from 1980 to 1996. In addition to the statue located at the Scottsdale Civic Center, this peak is a fitting tribute to his dedication at establishing the McDowell Sonoran Preserve and many of his other accomplishments as a popular public figure.


Hike Off-trail activities within the McDowell Sonoran Preserve are not permitted without written approval from the preserve manager. Otherwise, visitors are required to stay on mapped trails, or risk being ticketed by the occasional mountain bike police patrol. Under Sec.21-12 - General rules for use, (b)(6) is classified as a Class 2 misdemeanor which carries a $750 fine and is punishable by up to four months in jail.
