Details:

Full Moon Hike

Difficulty Rating: 3 - Moderate (THIS IS A FITNESS HIKE), with a little steep climb, up to the Ridgeline (3 summits). There is a part of the Ridgeline, going down, that has loose gravel as well.

Dogs:  Okay, if they are used to exercise and hiking (you must bring extra water for your K9) 

Mileage: 4.0

What to bring: Plenty of Water NO LESS THAN 1 LITER, good hiking shoes, snacks, a camera to capture the beautiful moon. Some hikers like to bring flashlights, but it's not necessary. Between the full moon and the city lights, we have never had difficulties seeing the trail.

Directions: Take I-10 East (towards Tucson) and get off on Baseline Road. Head West till 46th Street and make a left. Now, you will come to a point in the road where it appears to be a driveway. It is not. It is part of the street. Drive all the way till the road ends and park in the 2nd parking lot on the left.

Please Note: Do not park in the 1st left parking lot. This is a business lot and you may be towed. If our parking lot is full, you may park along the street.

We might see some wildlife, as well. We have encountered rattlers, coyotes, and even javalenas. During one of our hikes, a pack of coyotes actually crossed the trail, less than 10 feet in front of us. The main thing to remember is you leave them alone, they will leave you alone.

Remember, know your strength and weaknesses on the trail. If you're a beginner, take your time on the trail. I will try to have a sweeper in the back, to ensure that everyone is safe.

I am trained & certified as a "Wilderness First Responder", as well as in Pet CPR/First Aid, so my pack might be larger than the rest of yours. The first and foremost thing about a hike, especially a full moon hike, is safety comes first.  

Hydrating the Homeless:

Bring cases of bottled water and Teri Ann will drop them off at SJTW. If you donate 10+ cases, your business website link will be featured on her website FREE for 60 days after the donation. Water and financial contributions are tax-deductible.

I look forward to our next full moon hike and hope everyone will contribute water for the homeless. Remember, how hot AZ gets during the summer and there have been several deaths of the homeless each summer.
