Reaching an elevation of 3,500’ Black Mountain is the most prominent landscape feature in North Metro Phoenix with an abundant variety of wildlife and lushly majestic High Sonoran Desert vegetation and spectacular panoramic views. Black Mountain is conveniently located within 30 minutes drive-time to a significant number of major employment centers in North Scottsdale and Metro Phoenix.
Black Mountain's history includes a tradition of preservation that began with the ancient HoHoKam Tribe which settled in the Desert Foothills in the 12th or 13th century followed by other Indian tribes protecting Black Mountain's rich supply of game and edible plants.
The mountain towers 3,500' above the Valley of the Sun, there is a 250 acre nature preserve on the summit. Mule deer, foxes, an occasional mountain lion, coatimundi, raccoons, bobcats, squirrels, coyotes and javalena roam the mountain and are visible throughout daylight hours. Numerous hiking and horse trails traverse the mountain and the foothills present magnificent and challenging cycling routes.
