Black Friday #OptOutside Group Hike – Arizona Hikers Guide

I’ll be hosting the first ever #OptOutside group hike for the Arizona Hiking Community on Black Friday.  This is a perfect trail to burn off all of those Thanksgiving calories!  Here is everything you need to know;

UPDATED MEETING LOCATION!!!

Meet Up Details:

• Hike: Siphon Draw (a.k.a. The Flatiron).  Located in the Superstition Mountain Range, Apache Junction, AZ
• Date: 11/27/2015
• Time: 8:00 a.m.
• Meet Up Location: Lost Dutchman State Park.  The fee is $7 per vehicle (1-4 adults) so carpool if you can.  The park takes cash, VISA, or Mastercard.  We originally planned to meet at the Mining Camp free site but figured with such a large group we should pay the small fee.

If you have never hiked Siphon Draw there are a few things you need to know before you attempt it.  This hike is described as a difficult hike and one must be in good physical condition to complete the hike.  Also, there are certain sections of the hike where you will need to use all four limbs to climb up or down.  Here are some other hike details;

Can’t wait to see you all there! This will be a great event to meet like-minded outdoor enthusiasts in Arizona. I look forward to a great hike! Shoot me an email if you have any questions!
