Earliest Sunset Hike!

We will summit RoxyAnn and then see the sunset on the way down. There is about 8 miles of walking with 1,600 feet of elevation gain.

We'll meet at the edge of the Eagle Trace Subdivision.

Get there by taking Hillcrest Road. Turn left at RoxyAnn Road (at the sign for Prescott Park). Go 1/4 mile on RoxyAnn Road & parallel park just past the 2nd left (Autumn Park Drive).

We'll walk up RoxyAnn Road to just beyond the second gate. Turn right onto the Greenhorn Trail.

The Greenhorn trail ends & reconnects to RoxyAnn Road. Turn left on a new trail that parallels RoxyAnn Road. This connects us to the Manzanita Trail.

We'll take the Manzanita Trail to the top of RoxyAnn. (If the Manzanita Trail is muddy, we'll go up the Oak Trail to the Ponderosa Trail.)

Once on top of RoxyAnn, we'll go to the North viewpoint first, and then the South viewpoint.

We want to start heading down by 3:45pm to be in a good place to view the sunset.

On our way down, we'll take the Ponderosa trail to the Oak Trail, down the sunset side of RoxyAnn, to RoxyAnn Road. We'll arrive at the upper parking lot with 2 Porta Potties.

From there, we'll hike down RoxyAnn Road all the way to our cars taking in views of the sunset, moonset, and the city lights below as the sky darkens.

There is a lot of ambient city light to assist our night vision on the way down, and the road is wide.
