Okay I saw this mountain on my way into Sky Harbor during a flight from Boston, it is located at 33.54, -111.69. I have been scouting ways to access this area on googlemaps but none of them looks easy. Has anyone ever climbed/hiked this area, it looks so fun to explore, especially if it is rarely traveled. I can see bike trails throughout the area on googlemaps but have found no information regarding a trailhead for climbing the mountain. I don't even know if it is called Mt. McDowell, I just know it is close to Fort McDowell and the Salt River. Any help/info is appreciated, thanks!

I found this link, but it doesn't give any information other than the mountain's name, location, and several bike trails.

yeah, be born an indian ;)

I climbed it back in 1968, in the days before permits, but that doesn't help much.
