East Valley Hike!

About this event

It's been far too long since we've hit the trail together. We are back for another season of hiking around the east valley. Join us on a mostly easy hike around the Papago Park Hiking Trails.

We are meeting at Evelyn Hallman Park which is easy to get to and has plenty of parking and bathrooms at the trailhead.

We will be hiking around Evelyn Hallman Pond, around the outside of the zoo, up to the Governor Hunts Tomb for a quick photo op, then continue along the canal back to our starting spot. Should be about one and half hours total time.

This hike is rated EASY. This is an easy trail that will have minimal elevation gain with some nice vistas for photos.

We will queue up near the bathrooms - looks for the group of hikers getting ready to hike. I tend to start my hikes on time fyi.

If you are brand new to hiking, this may not be for you. There are some areas that are rocky. If you are unsure, text me and we can chat about it.

DISTANCE: 3.0 miles roundtrip ELEVATION GAIN: 300 ft DURATION: 1.5 hours FACILITIES: None WEBSITE: Trailmap Directions : 290 E Marigold Ln · Tempe, AZ

Bring water and wear sunscreen. Regular tennis shoes are fine, but no open toed sandals. Leashed, well behaved dogs are fine.
