the hike	Let’s call this the Monday discount: Cost for 1-4 people per car is $7, extra people are $3 each. (Friday-Sunday is $10) Meet at the Treasure Loop Trailhead at 8:45 AM for a 9:00 hike. We will take the north side of the loop trail going in.     Parking and Restrooms are near the trailhead.     Beat the crowds and meet us for a Monday hike with no bikes! The Praying Hands rock formation is in the Tonto National Forest, 20 minutes past the highest point on Treasure Loop Trail at Lost Dutchman State Park. The last 15 minutes is more challenging and rocky. We may see climbers as they rappel from the Praying Hands. The views are beautiful. We will have a 10 minute ham radio demonstration too.
