North Mountain Visitor Center

The North Mountain Visitor Center gives guests an up-close and personal tour of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve and the plants and animals that make up the beautiful area surrounding the Center. Displays, classes, and workshops are offered to interpret and understand the Sonoran Desert found right outside the Center’s doors. Visitors to the Center will gain new insights into the richness and diversity of this landscape.  A series of trails adjacent to the center mean that desert exploration is just a step away. The Center is also a good stop for those planning a longer, more challenging hike, in this part of the Preserve.
