Phoenix AZ: Valley of the Sun Chapter, Thanksgiving Day Pilgrims Walk

Calling all Pilgrims to Papago Park!!!

Let’s gather with fellow pilgrims to give thanks for the blessings of a pilgrimage. We have so much to be thankful for, which becomes even more evident after walking a pilgrimage. Traditionally this day of thanks is about a different type of pilgrim but why not turn it into a reason to gather our own pilgrims? Is there a better reason to give thanks than for the opportunity to have experienced the Camino de Santiago?

Meet at 7:45 and leave at 8:00AM

This is an easy 5K walk that is suitable for fit friends and family. We will start by the ponds and walk along the smooth and flat Crosscut Canal. If we are lucky we will see some big horn sheep from the zoo. We will return the way we came. The pace will be leisurely but it is long enough to feel good about indulging later in the day.

Anyone interested can do the nearby Hole in the Rock – a must do in the Valley for any resident of visitor. Hole in the Rock is accessed by uneven terrain with some step ups and steps down and definitely warrants caution (no young children).

No registration fee for this Turkey walk (no t-shirt either) although your cash donations to support chapter activities are always appreciated.
