We will have three hikes that go out, a level 1, 2, and 3
- Level 1 hike- will go about 1 mile down to the stream and back with some moderate hills
- Level 2 hike- will go about 3 miles down to the
stream and continue on then head back with some moderate hills and stream crossings - Level 3 hike- will go along the ridge, cut down, and come back via the stream for a total of about 5 miles. This hike will move fast, have stream crossings, and will be more technical.
All terrain will be typical Sonoran landscape of rocks and cacti
