UPDATE: We will be hiking around the outside of the zoo this week, along the canal and then we'll hike up to the Governor Hunt's Tomb and finish back at the Hole in the Rock. Those who want to can hike to the top of the Hole In the Rock at the end of the hike. We will meet under the pavilion at the bottom of the Rock at 8am to head out from there. Easy to find!

This hike is rated EASY. We are moving this hike to starting and finishing at the Hole in the Rock near the Zoo. Please leave yourself plenty of time to find a parking spot as the zoo can get crazy this time of year. You want to drive turn into the zoo, then stay to the left. This is an easy trail that will have minimal elevation gain with some nice vistas for photos.

Any questions call or Text me (Susan) at 480-295-9824.
