What we’re about
The West Valley Hiking Meetup Group was formed so people in the West Valley can connect with other hikers for safety and companionship while exploring the beauty that Arizona has to offer. The majority of hikes will be in the west valley, but we plan destination hikes one to two times per month especially during the summer months when we head north for cooler weather.
This meetup group is especially welcoming to retired seniors who can hike during the week. However, all adult hikers are welcome.
Members should be well-prepared for each event attended by taking personal responsibility for their own safety and educating themselves on the skills and knowledge needed to be safe.
Safety Tips:
Keep track of where you are with GPS and / or trail markers.
Bring twice as much hydration as you think you will need.
Bring snacks for energy.
Must have cell phone / capability of texting to participate.
I am open to feedback and suggestions. Please let me know if there are any destinations within Arizona that you are interested in.
I am looking for people to help me schedule and post events. Also looking for people willing to host the intermediate events. My email is aparkhurst@live.com. Thanks - Anne

See all- Book Club Social EventNeeds location
Come join us for this fun social event! There is typically food and wine involved. 21+ only.
Our next read is Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. Published in 1961. his is one of my favorite books ever. I am giving us an extra week for this read because it has some complexity but is still a fun read.
Stranger in a Strange Land is a 1961 science fiction novel. It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians, and explores his interaction with and eventual transformation of Terran culture.
Stranger in a Strange Land won the 1962 Hugo Award for Best Novel and became the first science fiction novel to enter The New York Times Book Review's best-seller list. In 2012, the Library of Congress named it one of 88 "Books that Shaped America".
Any similar titles in songs or movies are coincidences.
Location will be announced closer to the event but will be in the West Valley as usual.
Thanks
