Apache Wash Loop hike (Phoenix Sonoran Preserve) ??

Has anyone done this hike? I was talking with a police officer at my new station that mentioned several trails off of Sonoran Blvd. & Cave creek Rd. I've looked on several web sites for info on this trail and came up with very little. I have found the name mentioned and a loop distance around 5.5miles. The officer that was telling me of the trails said there are bathrooms and parking. I can't find anything on HAZ about it. I plan on taking a look in the next couple days but I'm just curious if anyone here has any info.

Thank you

@joe bartels
Thank you :) That is what I was looking for.

I was told that there are new trailheads on Sonoran Blvd. for these trails. I'll be checking them out tomorrow.

Went to check out this trailhead today :D This trailhead is beautiful. There's lots of parking, trash cans, seating and bathrooms. The trails are VERY well manicured and flat. I don't feel that I hike enough of the trails to do a proper write up for these trails. I only did a small 3 mile loop that included small parts of 4 different trails. I will definitely be hiking more of these trails. I will post pictures and a triplog for Apache vista, the only trail I did from beginning to end :)
