AZH First Anniversary Hike and Cookout Jan. 3

Hikes of varying difficulty and length followed by cookout at one of the ramadas!

Epic: Out 7.9 miles ford Canyon Trail to junction with Willow Canyon Trail; 1.7 Willow Canyon trail to junction with Mesquite Trail; 1.5 miles Mesquite Trail to junction with Goat Camp Trail; 5.1 miles on Goat Camp Trail. Total 16.2 miles with visit to Willow Spring while on Willow Canyon Trail. We'd need shuttle to get 1-1/2 miles from end of Goat Camp Trail back to Ford Canyon TH....or hike along road for 1-1/2 miles making total hike 17.7 miles. Personally, I think this would be more challenging than the Dutchman Epic.

Less than epic: Everybody hikes together out Ford Canyon Trail and in Willow Canyon Trail to Mesquite Trail; Epic hikers head west on Mesquite Trail to Goat Camp Trail; Non-epic head East on Mesquite Trail back to starting point, 12.3 miles. (Ford Canyon and Mesquite Trail Heads are at the same location.)

There's also a 9.2 mile hike that includes much of the above, but skips the first part of the Ford Canyon Trail and the end of the Mesquite Trail.

I get off between 6:30 and 7:00 usually, I am thinking if you all are still out there I may drive out just to say hi and see every one. So I don't have to feel completely left out....

Because so many folks can't make it on the 3rd, I'm changing the date to Jan. 10th. All else remains the same! Very Happy
