There are two numbered trails. "Shadow Mountain Big Loop" is one of the numbered trails and is "Trail 310." Trail 310 is a short, refreshing hike for beginners.
Visible from and just east of Cave Creek Road between Acoma Drive and Sweetwater Avenue, the activity area is easy to get to and offers a number of nearby post-hike refreshment options north on Cave Creek along the way to AZ101 (particularly on the southern side of AZ101 at the Cave Creek exit).
This part of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve seems to be only partially developed (it sports only a few posts here and there and all of those posts lack trail identification badges), but it does have one drinking fountain, a watering trough, and a trash receptacle (at the trailhead). There are no restrooms. Based on the presence of spoor, the flat portions of this trail seems to be used from time to time by horseback riders.
Altitude in Feet: 1840
