There is something magical about a full moon walk and I can’t resist a Supermoon even though the creepy crawly creatures may still be active this time of year. Please consider the possibility when registering for this walk.

We will walk on streets from Western Star Park to the Guadalupe Perimeter trail at South Mountain. We will do a short climb to watch the super moonrise from the saddle, then do a short section on Desert Classic trail and cut over to Guadalupe Perimeter Trail again before returning to Western Star Park for coffee. It will be hard to see the heart rock section (bring heart rock to add to it if you like) by head lamp and if we are lucky we will hear some coyote and not see any rattlesnakes. Please pay attention to the What to Bring Section for this twilight and evening hike. Long pants are recommended for evening hikes and a flashlight or headlamp is required.

After the hike anyone interested can gather at Los Taquitos for Taco Tuesdays and conversation. All are welcome to meet us at Los Taquitos at 7:40ish – 4747 E Elliott Rd #17.
What to Bring: Water, Headlamp or Flashlight, White Light (optional for scorpion fun), Your own first aid kit, Snacks, Poles (may be helpful on the .25 mile moderate climb and descent), A leave-no-trace toilet kit.

Money if joining for Taco Tuesdays (estimate 7:30) or contributing to the Donativo jar (cash only)
