Sunshine Social Hike 2/15: Garwood Dam 7AM 😁☀️

Let’s enjoy a long and beautiful social hike on the east side at Garwood Dam! We will be hiking the Wild Horse to Garwood Dam trail.

This will be an approximately 4.0mile hike with around 340feet of elevation gain and will take us an hour and 45 minutes to complete. For a social hike, this is a long one with decent elevation…the reward is a crested saguaro (Lucy) and likely flowing water by the dam (and also wildflowers!)

We will be starting introductions at 7:00am. After intros, we will begin hiking and return to the parking lot just around 8:55am (having taken our customary group picture at the halfway point, of course 😁)

Please bring water and sunscreen, hiking poles may be useful in the rocky parts. This trail is completely exposed.

The weather forecast right now calls for 49 degrees at the start and 54 by the time we finish, slightly chilly! I recommend layers.
This is not a dog friendly trail due to the horses 🐴

Parking is charged through Saguaro National Park, if you don’t have a pass you can purchase one here: https://www.nps.gov/sagu/planyourvisit/fees.htm

We will be taking pictures and posting them to our website and our group Facebook page. Thank you for your consent to post by joining our hike.

After the second hike, we will be enjoying brunch at Mojo Cuban Kitchen on Grant at 11:30am! (Approximately thirty minute drive west from the trailhead) Please let Jon know after the hike that you are interested so we can get an accurate count to the restaurant.

Way to keep being mindful with your RSVPs! 👍🏻

Hope to see you out there 😎

Thanks,
