Does anyone know if it is possible to hike from either Dreamy Draw or Squaw Peak parking areas to Aunt Chilladas, while staying primarily on trails until you hit the neighborhood?
Or, to another restaurant that would serve hikers breakfast?
I have some folks coming from out of town and I thought a hike to brunch and back would be fun for them.

From Dreamy Draw, you could go on trails almost all the way - after you cross the 51 on the pedestrian bridge heading west back into town leaving Dreamy Draw Park, there is a trail heading left (south) that you can follow to within a quarter mile or so of Aunt Chilidas which parallels the freeway. Haven't hiked it personally, but looking at aerial photos and maps, it looks like that would work.
not sure about Squaw Peak TH though - I think that's more "urban hiking" _________________ Mountains complement desert as desert complements city, as wilderness complements and completes civilization. - Ed Abbey |

Thank you SB. I looked at the google photos too but could not tell if there was a way across the 51. I will scout it and see what it looks like.
Any idea the distance?
Very funny oliverr99!! Yep, kinda. I've been doing some short hikes, 3 miles or less on very level ground for about a month and I'm getting stronger. I am really looking forward to being able to get to the summits again. Missing my mountain tops. _________________ Jamie
