Our SaddleBrooke Hiking Club is a proud partner of the Arizona National Scenic Trail through our club membership and volunteer hours. On January 20 hiking club members collectively contributed 45 hours of trail work on the Oracle Passage of the Arizona National Scenic Trail. Significant trail and drainage improvements were made by 15 volunteers followed by celebratory hot cider, coffee and cookies made by Sandra Sowell. It’s satisfying to work side by side on the Arizona National Scenic Trail and see immediate results of moderate physical effort. Come and join us at our upcoming three hour work events on Wednesday, February 17 and Wednesday, March 16. To sign up call Mary Croft at 651-270-1660.
