Watch out for mesquite-o's on this trail
by DixieFlyer

Expand MapOverview
This is a short companion trail to the Mesquite Hollow Trail in the Fountain Hills Preserve (FHP).


Hike
To get to the Mesquite Spur from the Adero Canyon Trailhead, begin hiking on the Promenade Trail. After about 0.9 miles, you will come to a 4-way junction at the north end of the Promenade Trail. From there, go southwest and take the Mesquite Hollow Trail. In 0.45 miles, turn left at the sign for the Mesquite Spur. After being on the Mesquite Spur for 0.14 miles, you will be back on the Mesquite Hollow Trail.
At the junction, when you come back to the Mesquite Hollow Trail, you will be next to the large mesquite tree from which the Mesquite Hollow Trail derives its name. This is the only mesquite tree along the trail and one of the few mesquite trees in the FHP.

The Mesquite Spur has a couple of steep and rocky sections, so despite its short distance, it might be slightly difficult for beginning hikers.

To Adero Canyon Trailhead
From Loop 101 and Shea Blvd head east on Shea Blvd for 7.8 miles. Then turn left on N Palisades Blvd and continue 1.1 miles. Turn left at the stop sign onto Eagle Ridge Drive and continue 2.4 miles until you reach the Adero Canyon Trailhead. Note that along the way Eagle Ridge Drive first becomes N 143rd Way and then becomes N Eagle Ridge Drive.

• February 2019: There is road construction on Eagle Ridge Dr, and the last mile to the trailhead is on a well-graded, unpaved road. However, that section of the road will ultimately be paved.
• January 2020 FHP writes: Fountain Hills (Parks & Wildlife Dept..480-816-5100): Adero Cyn TH/Parking is presently "only" accessible for parking access at the closed chain link fence ~1 mile "prior-to" TH Parking on N. Eagle Ridge Drive. M-F Trailhead access from ~1 mile up road is only legal from 3pm daily. Sat & Sun TH access from ~1 mile up road is legal from dawn to dusk.
• 2020-02-15 Yoder writes: Road to trailhead parking is closed due to construction. You may want to go to the Sunrise Trailhead parking.
• 2020-11-09 Grasshopper writes: Officially opened, and the road to the Parking / TH is now paved.
