Going to try and erase the bad memories of this hike from last year. Want to hit Big Horn Peak this Saturday morning. Let's meet behind the Culver's off of I-10 and Avondale Blvd around 8:00 AM to carpool out to the peak. Should be able to hit the trail by 9:00 AM. If you are a fan of bagging desert peaks, off trail adventures and dodging cacti this is the hike for you.

I'm in. I-10 and Avondale huh? Isn't that just past the agriculture-check station? ;)

Oh come on, from Tempe on a Saturday morning it's a 30 minute drive. Could be worse, it's not Buckeye.

The Culver's restaurant is just south of I-10. Turn left at the first traffic light.

It's solid 4th class climbing according to previous trip reports. Plus cactus infested, other than the Estrella's the worst patch of cactus I have had to negotiate.

Gotcha, yea I wouldn't consider myself a climber. Ive done 4 peaks mother lode , but that's about the extent of my climbing experience. Thanks for the information though, you guys have a fun safe trip!
