| no partners | | It's been several years since I was here so I decided to do the church and museum tour along with this easy hike to the top of Grotto Hill.
The road going up to Grotto Hill is a loop. You can go either way. To summit, you need to walk around to the back side and then you will see a use trail going up. There are multiple ways to go up. Watch out for broken glass in some areas.
The church is quite an amazing structure for being re-build in the 1790's. I was not aware that it is the oldest European Structure in the entire state of Arizona.

I enjoyed my visit and can see myself going back again with visitors who are interested in seeing it.
