Granite Mountain Loop Hike Review

Gary Ezzell led the Granite Mountain loop hike for the UUCP Outdoor Hiking Group on November 12. Eight other folks joined him to enjoy the 60-degree temperatures, fat and healthy saguaros due to the recent rains, and stunning granite rock formations on an easy 6.2 mile hike. Afterwards, many people went to the Pony Express Café for wonderful coffee and conversation.

We’ll meet at 8:45am at the trailhead to start hiking around 9:00am. Remember to bring $2 for the UU Hiking Fund. See the hike flyer for more details.

Also please check the calendar. If there is an open date and you would like to lead a hike, please send an email to outdoorgroup@phoenixuu.org with the date and location of the hike to be added to the calendar.
