Company description

The Dreamy Draw Recreation Area, located in north Phoenix at the side of Piestewa Peak, is a scenic city park with hiking trails and picnic areas.

This is the place to go to get away from city traffic, without having to leave the city.

The serene desert park is filled with typical lower Sonoran desert flora like saguaros, golden barrel cacti, creosote, ocotillos and other desert trees and shrubs. Wildlife spotted in this area include jackrabbit, cottontail rabbit, ground squirrel, kit fox and more than 50 types of birds. Most hiking trails at Dreamy Draw are easy to moderate, and picnic areas can accommodate 200 people. To get to the park, drive east along Northern Avenue to the parking lot located under Piestewa Freeway. The park can be accessed by foot or bicycle along a paved trail that starts just south of Shea Boulevard and 40th Street.
