What we’re about
We’re a friendly group of Phoenix-area folks who love being outdoors.
We host hikes, walks, and other outdoor activities in the Phoenix metro area, and perhaps beyond, to help you get out in nature, relax, and meet like-minded people. Everyone is welcome, even if you're new to the outdoors. On hikes, we strive to walk a comfortable pace and not leave anyone behind. However, it is up to you to research the trail and make sure it is within your fitness/comfort level.
We are happy to have you join our group and outings. We require actual name and photo on your profile.

- Pima Canyon Harvest Moon - easy evening hikePima Canyon Trailhead - South Mountain, Phoenix, AZ
Join our friendly Phoenix area group on a casual hike up the National Trail from the Pima Canyon Trailhead to the ruins to see the Harvest moon rise.
Bring a headlamp or flashlight for the return trip. It will be dark out and there are usually bike riders on the National Trail so you want to be visible.
Wear sturdy shoes and bring 2 liters of water. The sun will be setting, but it will still be hot out.
This is going to be an easy hike with minimal elevation gain. It should be around 2.5 miles with less than 300' elevation gain for this outing. Easy hike and an easy pace so we have time to take in the moonrise.
