FULL MOON / SUNSET / CITY LIGHTS / SOUTH MOUNTAIN HIKE.
LETS DO THIS. Again... And make it great !! Last full Moon the weather was cooler and still it was an Amazing night! So lets get everyone out to enjoy the cooling nights of our Amazing Arizona Desert of the Beautiful South Mountain Preserve.

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 14th, 4:30 PM.

WEATHER: High: 64 Low: 45

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!

The weather is beautiful (and cooler) which should make it an Amazing Arizona evening as the evening air cools as the sun sets.. so lets do this Amazing hike with breathtaking city lights glowing in the horizon as the sky fills with glimmering stars!

I think this would be a good time to start doing this hike 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. It's a good time to see and howl at the full moon: Should be a great night Adventure & You get to see me at my best....

South Mountain Javelina Trail

7898 S 46th St., Phoenix, AZ

Elevation Gain: Approximately 410 feet

Trails: Javelina Canyon; Ridgeline; & Beverly Canyon (loop Hike)

Trail Rating: 2-3 / Moderate

Moonrise: 4:58 PM Sunset: 5:19 PM

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 last 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 much colder, a camera to capture the beauty of the Full Moon and City Lights (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, unless it's very 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 wild stories, and of course the SUNSET & FULL MOON.
