We are a fun group of experienced hikers who welcome others who enjoy difficult 5+ mile trails at a fast pace. This is NOT A BEGINNER hiking group - we do Camelback and/or Piestewa Peak during the week for workouts to train for our longer weekend hikes. If you cannot summit both of those trails - you will find our hikes VERY difficult. Our hikes are not dog friendly unless otherwise posted. 

Sometimes we plan backpacking events as well as other outdoor recreation like canyoneering, caving or skiing/snowboarding. Go to Pages to read more about us.
