Up for a challenging morning hike? Looking to get out on the trail, but don’t want to hike alone? This is a tough 7.5-mile hike on the Pass Mountain trail. This trail has a rating of difficult, so expect lots of loose rock, uneven terrain and a challenging amount of elevation change (700 ft); please know your skill and fitness level. You may find hiking poles helpful. Restrooms are available at the nearby Nature Center; please pack at least 3 liters of water, snacks and electrolytes. You may also want to consider having some extra water in your vehicle for when you get back. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes; hats, sunscreen and layered clothing are strongly recommended. NO pets, please.  

This is a great way for advanced hikers to knock some miles of the MC Parks’ 100 Miles in 100 Days Challenge. Find more info about the program here: https://www.maricopacountyparks.net/things-to-do/activity/100-miles-in-100-days-challenge/
