Pinnacle Peak is a part of the city of Scottsdale, located at the north end of the McDowell Mountains. This high Sonoran Desert area is about 1,000 feet higher in elevation than Phoenix and is generally cooler than the Valley. It may even see light snow in winter.
A key reason the 6,200 residents choose to make the area around Pinnacle Peak their home is the natural, unspoiled environment and the opportunity to enjoy the wilderness. The area has a number of active citizens and resident groups. The mission of The Greater Pinnacle Peak Association (GPPA) is "to protect the interests of residents, the desert and the native wildlife by encouraging community activism and communication." The Friends of the Scenic Drive, Inc. focuses its efforts on the Desert Foothills Scenic Drive, which became a landmark in the early 1960s. The Greater Pinnacle Peak Homeowners Association (GPPHA) supports area property owners.
The actual Pinnacle Peak that gives the name to the area is a 3,170-foot peak composed of granite, feldspar, mica and quartz. The 150-acre City of Scottsdale Pinnacle Peak Park surrounding the peak offers hiking, horseback riding and rock climbing.
