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, plan to attend a Hiking Orientation Presentation at 1:30 p.m., February 3, in the HOA1 Activity Center. 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 everyone interested in hiking in Arizona—you do not have to be a member of the club. For more information call Tim Butler at 825-0193. We hope to see all those interested in hiking in our Desert Southwest at this special program.
