Come join me on a night hike from Squaw Peak Drive! This hike will give us a good workout plus some great views of the valley. These are the trails we will take counter-clockwise, #200 (mohave trail), to #202, 8A (Quartz Trail), 8B, and #304 back to the parking lot. There will be some moderate to steep climbs thoughout. Evaluate your skills accordingly. We will go at a moderate pace with stops if needed. You're encouraged to bring snacks, camera, and must bring at least 2 liters of water per person and sturdy hiking footwear. You should also bring a flashlight and/or a headlamp because part of the hike will be in the dark. Parking is tight, so try to arrive 15min early.

Great Hike in a beautiful part of the city. Thank you Chuck for leading on the Mohave Trail and then some. Staying to the "left" we navigated up and down each hill. Great workout. Very nice getting to know everyone and seeing some familiar faces. Hope to see everyone again at a meetup in the future

I'm hoping to make it tomorrow, but I'm not sure how work will play out it the evening. I'll post here if I won't be there.
