Go Take A Hike In South Mountain Park

Now the weather is cooling off a bit you should start thinking about a hike in South Mountain Park.   You can go it alone and there are many trails to choose from or you can take a guided hike with the Pueblo Grande Museum.  The PGM which is located in Phoenix near 48th Street and Washington Avenue sponsors interpretive hikes in the mountains that are within easy driving distance of the city.  These hikes usually take place on a Saturday morning and are made up of people of all ages.  The price is normally around $8.00 per person and they provide a guide who is well versed in the history of the area and can give you a background on the petroglyphs that are found throughout the area.

The next scheduled hike with the Pueblo Grande Museum will be on Saturday the 19th of November, 2011.   You can make plans now to take a guided hike on the Kiwanas/Ramadas trail in South Mountain Park in Phoenix.  The hike will be easy to moderate and will give you lots of great photo ops. This will be a 3 hour interpretive hike and will be from 8am to 11am.  Be sure to bring along  plenty of water and your favorite camera.  You should register in advance at the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation site and the fee will be $8.00 per person.  Learn about the petroglyphs in South Mountain and the native Americans who left the oldest drawings on the rocks.
