I plan to go hiking at McDowell Sonoran Preserve; will it be pretty much the same type of scenery/views at Pinnacle Peak? Just wondering if it is worth the time to visit both places with limited time.

A:
It depends. If you like desert hikes, the two you describe are different enough to be enjoyable. But if you are the sort of person who might say, "seen one desert, seen them all" they are somewhat similar vistas. They are different levels of challenge too. The Go John trail and Tom Thumb are both significantly more different than the two you mention.
