This hike is a mix of easy (2 miles), moderate (2 mile) and difficult (.5 miles) terrain to give you a sense of how your body (and gear) respond over the different grades you will encounter on the Camino. In addition, this hike features 6 areas of Petroglyphs from the Hohokam Indians – all within just 1.5 miles of the trailhead.
If you want to stay for hot choc and mixers, bring a mug and, if you’d like, bring something to share with our pilgrims. We will gather at the picnic benches. If you want to join us only for the post-hike conversation and company, you are very welcome but you need to enter the park before sunset when the gate closes.
Facilities: There is water & restrooms at the trailhead.
Bring: Water, hat, headlamp, hiking poles, your own first aid kit, snacks, and a leave-no-trace toilet kit.
