Phoenix, AZ: Valley of the Sun Chapter, South Mountain Hike

Less than 4 miles Easy to Moderate along a mix of pavement, fire road and desert trail

Join this conversational pace walk on the East side of South Mountain. Weekends are busy at this popular park so we will PARK AT RUSTLER’s ROOST. Like on the Camino, we will walk some pavement through a quiet neighborhood (.7 mi) to the entrance to Pima Canyon Entrance to South Mountain Park and then walk along the Maricopa Trail (.6 mi) to the trailhead option along the walk. From this trailhead we will walk the fire road (.7 mi) and connect to Beverly Canyon trail/Pima Canyon Loop (1.6 mi) which will take us back to Rustler’s Rooste. If you would like a more challenging walk, join us on October 22 too.

Bring your camp chair and indicate if you would like coffee after the hike and we can relax and ease into the weekend talking about the Camino.
