where Papago Park, Phoenix
the hike     Member and non-members are welcome, just bring food or help with the event. There are many trails in Papago Park. We be in group Pavilion 2. No glass bottles allowed, so have your drinks in cans or plastic. We will have a beer license, so you can have beer or wine. The club will provide water. We will need a couple of persons to sit with the food, while we hike.
    All the trails go through beautiful desert areas. We will have a couple of hikes 0 to 6 miles. This hike is all about paying it forward. We are going to roam and explore Papago Park, just enjoy each other’s company and clean up the land. Hopefully, we will witness beautiful big horn sheep along the way! The big horn sheep like the rocks on the east side of the zoo.
    We do plan to venture up to Hole In The Rock and climb some while we are there.
    The club will provide a large box of trash bags so along the way we can pick up garbage and pay forward some awesome vibes to this beautiful place. Please bring gloves to protect your hands. With that being said, we will not be picking up items that may be dangerous to us.
    Let us celebrate life, environment, and paying it forward to this wonderful earth we call home!
    No glass bottles allowed, so have your drinks in cans or plastic. The group site is well marked. This lets members and non-members, hikers and non-hikers get to gather and talk about what the club has done and what we plan to do. So come and join us for a fun time.
    The weather may be sunny or not. Be prepared for extreme desert weather. Bring a hat, sunscreen and some rain gear. Even if it looks like rain, we will still do the awards.
