SaddleBrooke Hiking Club to host orientation to hiking in the Desert Southwest – February 2

Randy Park

If you are new to hiking in Arizona or have not hiked recently, you may want to learn about hiking in the Sonoran Desert from experienced SaddleBrooke Hiking Club guides. If so, you are invited to attend a hiking orientation presentation at 3:30 p.m. on February 2 in the MountainView West Ballroom. Among the topics to be discussed are how to prepare for the desert’s special conditions, how to choose the hike that is right for you, and what type of clothing and equipment are recommended. Overall, the tips should make hiking more enjoyable and safer for you.

In addition to the hiking orientation presentation, information will be shared about the SaddleBrooke Hiking Club itself, the types of hikes offered and other club programs. This presentation is open to all SaddleBrooke residents interested in hiking in Arizona. You do not have to be a member of the club to attend the orientation. For more information, call Tim Butler at 825-0193 or Rob Simms at 517-410-9031. We hope to see all those interested in hiking in our Desert Southwest at this special program.
