Monday morning hike Pima Canyon trail

NOTE if you have never been here research location of parking lot as some have had issues using the link, taking them to a spot in a neighborhood on other side. parking is off MAGEE rd. 1915 E Magee Rd is exact address.
Beautiful Pima Canyon Trail featuring high desert, shaded canyon bottom, possible water crossings. The hike is rated intermediate with an elevation gain of 800 feet over 3 miles on the way to the dam. You'll need decent fitness level to accomplish it but it will not be a race either! We will do approximately 6.0 mile hile. Here is link to the hike, though this is a longer hike (this is an out and back hike) We will turn around at the dam. At the dam area we will take a break and have snacks. I think it'll take about 3-3.5 hrs to complete this hike.

Pima Canyon trail

We will stop and re group as needed; especially when dealing with the elevation, and take some pics, water breaks etc...
It's not a race, but enjoyable time to be outdoors and enjoy the views. I'd recommend you are familiar with hiking in AZ and can hike at least 2.0 mph pace for this hike I am fine with re grouping but I just don't want you to struggle if you aren't ready for it, plus not fair to others in the group!. I will make sure to keep track of everyone and re group at any turns if we have separation
