Full Moon Hike in South Mountain, with an Amazing Sunset first leg of the trail. With a bright full moon to finish the hike.
Last month we had an Amazing group of people, a good time was had by all! If you are interested in a little TAILGATE PARTY after the hike being held in the parking lot and enjoy a little extra time with your fellow hikers, please join bring something to share drinks or snacks.
The weather should be beautiful and MILDLY HOT making this night an Amazing Arizona evening.. so lets do this Amazing hike with breath taking views.
I think this would be a good time to start doing this hike again, and again, and again. We have been doing this hike for years and we have had a great time. So come on out for a great night hike, meet Amazing people, check out a beautiful Arizona Sunset and watch the glowing Full Moon rise in the East as we move along the Ridgeline Trail. Its a good time to owl at the full moon: "If it so moves you."
Should be a great night Adventure . You get to see me at my best....
South Mountain Javelina Trail
7898 S 46th St., Phoenix, AZ
Mileage: 3.8 miles
Elevation Gain: Approximately 410 feet
Trails: Javelina; Ridgeline; & Beverly Canyon (loop Hike)
Trail Rating: 2-3 / Moderate
Directions: Take I-10 to 48th Street & go South to Baseline and turn right (west) or I-10 West to Baseline and get off on Baseline Road. Head West till 46th Street and make a left (south). Drive all the way till the road ends and park in the 2nd parking lot on the left.
SUGGESTIONS: bring plenty of water, a snack if you'd like, layering clothing for change in temperature as the sun goes down it does get a little colder, a camera to capture the beautiful moon (we use the trail markers as tripods). Some hikers like to bring flashlights, and that's fine. However, between the full moon and the city lights, we have never had difficulties seeing the trail, even if it's cloudy. If you do use a flashlight, please be considerate of the people around you by not blinding them :--)
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.... This hike may not be good for a beginner or a new hiker, it is dark at times and parts of the trail can be a little challenging. We do not go fast but we do keep a good pace, and we do have a few stops to enjoy the city lights and of course the FULL MOON.
