This hike is rated EASY.
Come celebrate the season with a Holiday Hike and Brunch! We’ll hike “Lonnie’s Loop” starting at the North Mountain Visitor Center. This is an easy hike, perfect for beginners. The trails are relatively flat with some gentle ups and downs, and one short but steep hill. We'll take the #306 trail to the 7th Ave trail head and back on the #100 trail in a big loop. Be sure to bring snacks, cameras, at least 1+ liter of water per person, and sturdy hiking footwear.
Whichever holiday you choose to celebrate - Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Halloween, Cinco de Mayo, your birthday… come dressed in holiday fashion! (santa hat, cape and tights, bunny ears, favorite holiday t-shirt)
After the hike, enjoy brunch at Moon Valley Café. Please indicate in your rsvp if you plan to attend brunch.
Moon Valley Café location is 502 East Thunderbird Road, Phoenix, AZ 85022. Menu: moonvalleycafe.com.
See you there!
