the hike |
This will be a little romp through the hills. Start from the back of the
amphitheater and do a loop up and around this hill. At the top of the hill
we can look around the Phoenix area. Continue around the hill, then
we’ll be back at the cars, so persons who only want a "D"
hike can stop here.
For the "C" hike, continue across 59th Ave. on a bridge and up the Arrowhead Trail. This is a little more of a climb. We will stop at the top to see the views. Then it is time to go down the other side and around the hill to return to the cars. For the "B" hike, continue across 59th Ave. on a bridge and north on Coach Whip Trail. The C hikers will go south to thier cars. This is a little more of a climb. We will stop at the top to see the views. Then it is time to go down the other side and around the hill to return to the cars. Note that each loop ends at the parking lot, so you can switch hikes. We may stop for lunch after the hike. Bring: • At least 2 liters of water • Hiking boots • Hat Optional: • Hiking poles • Lunch or snacks • Sunscreen • Camera |
