Wildflowers are showing off along our trails! From our Member; Craig Weaver: the 15th Avenue Trail is lined with the stunning blooms of Phacelia tanacetifolia and the tiny clustered beauty of Fivewing Spiderling (Boerhavia intermedia).

It’s a beautiful reminder of the diversity and seasonal magic in our desert preserves. 🌼

Thank you for sharing, Craig!

This morning gave our community a chance to honor Libby Goff, beloved board member, steward, and friend. Libby Goff was a champion for Phoenix’s mountains, a mentor, and a friend who showed us what dedication to place looks like.

We celebrated her legacy through:
🌵 Planting a memorial saguaro
🥾 Hiking trails she loved
💚 Real community connection
🌱 Launching seed balls for future wildflowers
☀️ Mayor Proclamation + Governor Commendation

A big huge THANK YOU everyone who showed up and helped today, we appreciate you!
• Family & Friends of Libby Goff
• PMPC Members, Board of Directors, Legacy Leaders, Advisors & Volunteers
• Park Ranger Holtz
• Parks & Recreation Department Natural Resource Division, Claire Miller
• Mayor Kate Gallego & Governor Katie Hobs
• Everyone who made today meaningful

We invite you to celebrate, as March 14th is officially known as Libby Goff Day!

Desert Views and City Vistas: An All Afield Hike with in Dreamy Draw. Sunday, November 23, 2025 @ 9:00 AM
A guided hike through Dreamy Draw Recreation Area in Phoenix, one of the most scenic gateways to the Sonoran Desert! Nestled at the base of Piestewa Peak, Dreamy Draw offers a chance to explore rugged desert terrain, take in sweeping views, and spot wildlife. On our 1.5-mile trek along the Dreamy Draw Nature Trail, we’ll look for signs of desert life, from coyotes and cottontails to black-throated sparrows and side-blotched lizards, and discuss how wildlife adapts to urban environments. Along the way, we’ll explore how areas like Dreamy Draw support biodiversity, connect habitats across the Valley, and offer city residents a direct connection to the natural world. One extra perk of this hike (depending on rainfall!) is that we can expect to start seeing cooler-weather wildflowers like desert bluebells and Mexican poppies.

Phoenix Mountains Preservation Council - PMPC

The Phoenix Mountains Preserve grew out of a grass roots movement which began over 50 years ago and continues today. It has become a "cause" in which ordinary people are deeply and emotionally involved. PMPC has been in the vanguard of every effort made since its formation to preserve the mountains within the boundaries of Phoenix.
