Where City Meets the Desert

BIRD WATCHERS, UNITE!

Thanks to its diverse and abundant range of bird species, Chandler

attracts bird watchers from around the globe. If you have an

appreciation for our winged friends, there are a number of places

where you can spot local and migratory birds found in the area.

A favorite place among bird watchers is Veterans Oasis Park,

home to 150-plus bird species and where the Desert Rivers

Audubon Society offers free guided bird-watching tours every

first Saturday of the month from November through April. These

walks begin every 30 minutes, from 8 a.m. until noon, and last

one hour. No special equipment is required.

WHERE CITY

MEETS THE DESERT

Nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, Chandler welcomes outdoor enthusiasts with its warm climate,

breathtaking landscapes and a myriad of recreational activities. From picturesque hiking trails that wind through

nearby mountain ranges to tranquil parks that offer the opportunity to be at one with nature, the city is an inviting

playground for those wanting to enjoy the great outdoors.


@fletchermasters

For those seeking a true desert adventure, you don’t need to

leave the city to experience this unique landscape filled with

otherworldly plants and fascinating animals. At Veterans

Oasis Park, you can encounter a variety of native flora, from

palo verde trees to desert marigolds. You also can get up

close with the iconic saguaro cactus, the quintessential

symbol of the desert found only in the desert southwest.

rabbits, squirrels, lizards and snakes, as well as more than 150

bird species.

biking trails that immerse you in the Sonoran Desert—and

reward you with some pretty awesome views of the area.

Veterans Oasis Park


Where City Meets the Desert: Get Outside

Where City Meets the Desert: Hit the Links


GET OUTSIDE

On horseback

Experience the

Sonoran Desert

the way Chandler’s

earliest residents did:

on horseback. KOLI

Equestrian Center

invites guests to ride

side-by-side (instead

of nose-to-tail) through

the Gila River Indian

Reservation. Along the

way, tribe members

share stories of their

native lands, teach

about local plants and

point out desert animals,

including wild horses.

On water

For a different perspective of

the Sonoran Desert, take a

narrated cruise of Canyon Lake

on the Dolly Steamboat. The

1.5-hour cruise passes striking

rock formations, saguaro cacti

and desert wildlife, including

big horn sheep on the lake’s

steep rock walls. Twilight dinner

and astronomy dinner cruises

let you see Canyon Lake and the

surrounding desert in, literally, a

different light.

On wheels

@heymetz19 @diamanmcj

In sneakers

You don’t have to leave the pavement to

explore the Sonoran Desert. Veterans Oasis

Park has a paved walk around its five-acre lake,

as well as more than four miles of easy-to-walk

trails. Paseo Vista Recreation Area’s walking

trails connect to the Paseo Trail, a 6.5-mile

path along the Consolidated Canal.

Veterans Oasis Park

@cindylitwin

Want to cover more ground while in the Sonoran

Desert? You can bike along the trails at South

Mountain Park and San Tan Regional Park instead

of hiking them. Don’t have a mountain bike? No

problem. AZ Bike Rentals in Chandler rents

mountain bikes, while Cactus Adventures leads

guided rides (bikes and all gear provided) through

South Mountain Park.

In hiking boots

Leave the city behind and hit the trails at South

Mountain Park for a deeper look at the Sonoran

Desert. The park has more than 50 miles of hiking

trails, ranging from the one-mile Kiwanis Trail to

the more challenging Telegraph Pass and National

trails. At San Tan Regional Park, the Moonlight Trail

provides a short, easy trek. If you’re up for more of a

challenge, try the 6.4-mile San Tan Trail, which takes

you through a large part of the 10,000-acre park.

Dolly Steamboat

HIT THE LINKS

More than a century ago, the state’s very first grass links course

opened in Chandler, and today, the community continues to be an

attractive destination for golf. Whether you’re looking for a great

game while visiting or to catch a quick round on a challenging

executive course – Chandler has several courses you won’t want

to miss.

Although it wasn’t the first golf course in Arizona, the 18-hole, par

72 course at the San Marcos Golf Course was the first to feature

grass—instead of sand—fairways when it opened in 1913. Play here

is straightforward yet requires some skill to navigate an average of

three bunkers per hole plus the occasional water hazard. And it’s

all located steps away from a vast array of dining and entertainment

options in Downtown Chandler.

For a more challenging round, make your way to south Chandler

and the lush fairways of Ocotillo Golf Club. The Ted Robinsondesigned

courses is one of the Valley’s “Three Must-Play” courses

along with Troon North Golf Club and The Boulders Golf Club.

You’ll understand why after you play. The course requires skillful

ball placement to avoid the water hazards you’ll encounter on 24

of the course’s 27 holes but rewards with cascading waterfalls and

colorful flower beds.

To the east, find the popular Bear Creek Golf Complex with its

championship-length Bear Course and the much shorter Cub

Course. The 71-par Bear Course, with its rolling fairways and

strategic bunkering, is designed for seasoned golfers while the

59-par Cub Course is ideal for beginners, families, and executives

looking for a quick round. (It has only five par 4s; the remaining

holes are all par 3s.)

Although it’s located in a gated community, the 18-hole

championship course at Ironwood Golf Club is open to the public

and offers exciting play for golfers of all skill levels. Beginners

will appreciate that it’s a shorter course at 5,500 yards, but

experienced golfers can sharpen their game on the seven par 3s

and on the water hazards that come into play on five holes.

Lone Tree Golf Club features an 18-hole, par-71 course is

straightforward with no frills, making it a great option for

beginners, as well as experienced golfers. From the back tee, the

Lone Tree Golf Club course stretches 6,984 yards, and along the

way, you’ll face water hazards, including a waterfall.

A little further south, Springfield Golf Resort offers a short, par-61

game you can finish in under 3½ hours. The fairways on the 18-hole

course are wide and forgiving, again making it a good option for

beginners as well as younger and older players.
