Finding the trailhead is straightforward; however, participants should note important logistical details to ensure a smooth experience. The meeting point can be accessed via US 60, conveniently located between Picketpost Mountain and Boyce Thompson Arboretum. However, be prepared for the final approach – the road leading to the trailhead is unpaved, requiring vehicles with all-wheel drive capabilities to navigate safely. If you don’t have suitable transportation, consider arranging a carpool with fellow hikers to ensure everyone can join in the adventure.
To help you prepare properly for this two-hour outdoor activity, the ZenLife Center has provided an AllTrails link, allowing you to preview the route, elevation changes, and trail conditions before the event. This valuable resource includes photos, reviews from previous hikers, and detailed maps to familiarize yourself with the journey ahead. Participants are encouraged to bring appropriate hiking footwear, sun protection, and plenty of water to stay comfortable throughout the excursion. The morning start time at 8:00 am takes advantage of cooler temperatures, making for a more pleasant hiking experience in the Arizona landscape.
