Peoria, AZ: Valley of the Sun Chapter, Intro to Camino Stroll & Packing Demo

Easy urban social walk on pavement, portion on the Maricopa Trail.

Total distance: 5K/3.1miles easy
Time: ~ 3 hour leisurely pace walking, followed by 2nd breakfast (coffee & croissants), and a packing demonstration.

ABOUT THIS WALK: The original pilgrims didn’t have the luxury of flying into Spain to pick up
the Camino de Santiago from their chosen point. The starting point for many was the doorstep
of their own home. In this tradition, we will begin our stroll from the home of our hike leader,
Charlotte.

As with all our Intro to the Camino strolls, the Camino de Santiago is the topic of conversation.
The conversation will continue at Charlotte’s home over coffee and croissants (2nd breakfast)
and again as she demonstrates how & what she has packed for her many Caminos.
We will meet at Charlotte’s home and walk 3.1miles/5K round trip starting from her doorway.
The walk will be easy and level on the city pavement. A section of this urban walk is on the
Maricopa Trail.
