Pinnacle Peak is north Scottsdalersquo;s most prominent landmark; rising out of the desert floor to an elevation of 3;170 feet. For years; Pinnacle Peak was Scottsdalersquo;s ldquo;secretrdquo; destination for hiking; rock climbing; and horseback riding. In 1985; with urban sprawl surging northward; Scottsdalersquo;s city council acted to preserve Pinnacle Peak as a municipal park. Pinnacle Peak visitors are impressed by the sweeping vistas; the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert; the manicured golf courses; and the unique wildlife. Few people realize that the surrounding landscape covers the forgotten footprints of prehistoric hunter-gatherers; Hohokam; Yavapai; the US Cavalry miners; homesteaders; ranchers; developers; and colorful characters of the past. Spanning 150 acres; Pinnacle Peak Park has become one of the most popular attractions in the Phoenix metropolitan area; and its scenic beauty is enjoyed by people from all over the world.
