South Cactus Mountain – The forgotten Phoenix mountain - After work hike

Hey folks, bring your head lamps and let’s hike South Cactus Mountain – Peak 1833. We will meet around the junction of Cave Creek Road and Cactus Road at 5:45pm. In between Filiberto’s and Yoshi’s.
I have done this mountain a few times. It’s a fun hike – not too difficult - <4 miles and 700 feet of gain. Just a nice after work hike.

About your organizer: My name is Dan. I moved to the Phoenix area in early 2017. I have organized over 200 hikes for various groups – including in Arizona, the Sierras, and Northern Nevada. I tend to choose mountain summits I have never done before. I do as much preparation and mapping as I can to ensure we take the correct trails. However, when driving to and hiking in a new area, there are always surprises and unknowns.

This hike is subject to cancellation or rescheduling due to fires or inclement weather.
