It is a marvelous night for a Full Moon Hike. The Phoenix South Mountains will beckon and call....with the Valley lights at our feet while hiking, the views will amaze one and all...We will start this hike at the Geronimo trailhead at 20th Street and Dobbins Road and meander through an isolated petroglyph valley on the way up to the Buena Vista Lookout. From the Buena Vista Lookout we'll head EAST back to the Point South Mtn via the National Trail.
We're meeting at the Point South Mtn Rustler's Roost lower parking lot (8383 South 48th Street) at 5:30 pm Saturday (or 4:45 at the RR bar if you want to have a refreshment prior). We'll carpool to the Geronimo TH (limited parking) and start around 5:45 - 6:00. Be sure to bring a flashlight or headlight, and plenty of water.
