Cave Creek Regional Park
|
| the hike |
Did you know the Cave Creek park is 2,922 acres? We won’t hike all of it,
only about 7 miles. Please join me on this scenic hike in Cave Creek Park.
In a counterclockwise direction, we’ll extend the classic Go John
hike to about 7 miles by adding the Quartz and Slate Trails.
