Sunrise at San Simon River

We’ll meet just before sunrise for an easy, unhurried walk along the San Simon River area. This isn’t about distance or pace—it’s about being present. Some of us may chat, some may walk in silence, and at some point we might all just stop and take it in.
Big sky, soft desert colors, birds waking up—this is more of a “slow walk with space to think” than a destination hike.
