What we’re about
What we’re about
Do you like walking slow and steady in southern Arizona desert and/or mountains? Our pace is about 2 mile an hour because we like to stop and enjoy the views, wildflowers, and wildlife. If the 3 mile pace of most walking groups leaves you in the dust, than you have found your solution with Slow Walking! Walking at your natural pace allows you to walk for longer stretches without tiring.
Normally 1-2 hours out, rests as needed, 1-2 hours back, moderate elevation gain.
Some crowd favorite routes have been Sweetwater Preserve, King Canyon (near ASDM), Tucson Mountains, Tortolita Mountains, Sabino Canyon, Tucson parks, museums and cultural walks.
Collecting experiences is more important to us than racking up miles. Bring your hand lens for plant/flower identification, binoculars for wildlife identification, camera for pics - or just bring yourself and enjoy the walk.
Mandatory - easy going, kind and friendly companionship. Having fun is highest priority.
Bring 1-2L water, sunscreen, hat, and appropriate footwear.
Note: We are most active in the winter months, especially spring.
