Calling all adventurers! Get your legs pumping and your heartrate up on a
strenuous 12-mile hike up into the Tonto National Forest for sweeping views of the mountains and to find
hidden rock art carved by the native peoples that once called this place home. Click program title for more
details.
The trail is steep, rocky and relentlessly uphill with an elevation gain of 2,700 ft. As we will be out all day make sure to have proper clothing, wear sunscreen, a protective hat, pack a lunch and plenty of snacks. Sturdy boots or trail running shoes are strongly encouraged and trekking poles can help you balance on the rocky terrain. I would encourage you to bring 5 liters of water and pre-hydrate a day prior to the hike. Bathrooms are located at the trailhead but there is no water in the park so please make sure you have 5 liters with you from the start. Also it is good practice to have at least a liter of water waiting for you in the car after the hike. MEETING LOCATION: Please meet at the covered tables just passed the main contact station Limit 10 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 8 with your name, phone number and number of people attending. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Nature Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. Registration for this program will close on 10/12/23.
