Does anyone know if Adero Canyon TH is back open? Fountain Hills website says it will re-open “late September” ..... which is now. Toll Brothers had road to TH closed for construction. It’s such a nice spot for quick zip to the top of something or more ambitious linking to Andrews-Kinsey and Sunrise...

Yeah swear I looked before I posted!
I got four to be on the safe side

@joebartels I have searched online store for HAZ car window decal and can't find one. Does that mean they are all gone?? My two are still alive on 11 year old 4runner - - but I have new car and need new one. Any in vault Joe?? I should have bought extras..... Or does anyone have secret stash and I'...

@Darth Stiller Here's the GPS route for parking legally off Legend Trail Rd. You need State Land Trust permit in case someone runs into you and asks for it (LOL!). This was the only way for me to make Powerline Road #1 trail bearable/tolerable. http://hikearizona.com/map.php?GPS=30878 Although TONS ...

@Darth Stiller The way I "knocked out" a bunch of the super-north with limited time was to park at either Granite Mtn or Brown's and take Uber up to Stagecoach Rd. It's $17 from Granite Mtn and $14 from Brown's Ranch. The address I use to call for cab is: 36242 N Boulder View Drive. Also once to get...

@Darth Stiller
Neither. It's at the end of the road past all houses. Look at four pics I just posted on Jan 14th hike for Soapberry Wash.

@Darth Stiller
Here is link to little photo set of the Tonto parking lot - easy way to access northeast corner of Preserve.

@Darth Stiller
The parking lot is not on City maps. It would be on a Tonto map. Just a smidge past Montello on 136th St is the parking lot. I will post some pics from a Jan 14th hike and tag you in a pic comment to see.

Thanks to help from two other Conservancy stewards -- I've updated the All Trails Club list to include the trails that will be on maps next month or September (not sure when they are being printed). All the signs are out on the new trails now from Area 8. The ones getting the most attention are the ...

@chumley @joebartels .... Thank you!!! Was S great day -- nice to get my Southern "fix" once a year! I'm almost overdosed on egg salad.

@SuperstitionGuy
Thank you!!

Today is my 9 year anniversary on HAZ --- still in love after all these years LOL! Thanks Joe for all you do! And I'm behind on triplogs, but I'll get caught up when kid activities slow down this summer. My life in Arizona has been forever changed from participating in this group --- feels like fami...

@chumley
I have a babysitter - going anyway!
You still in?

@Crzy4AZ What about @mazatzal ? He does long McDowell hikes all the time. When I write a name with @ - - are they "tagged" ?? I don't think so b/c not showing up bold. But I wrote PM to all above to turn the crank and see if we can squeeze a couple more hikers onto the maybe/yes list!!!! :DANCE: :p...

@The Eagle
Very true!!

What about @GetHiking ? @SunRay ? @neilends ? @tibber ??

FYI: Tom's Thumb trailhead gate opens at 6:55am. No water there.

I didn't say I would abandon Instagram @chumley

If Joe is going - I will abandon my children to join this hike.

Love this loop idea - doing a kid christmas thing at Chick Fil A - otherwise would be there.
Will look for IG pics
