Hiking...

Hike leader Norm Young leads hikes once a month. Hikes vary from 4 to 6 miles in length with elevation change up to 1200 feet. We hike to some of the scenic and historic sites in and around Prescott, Jerome and Sedona. Most hikes would be considered moderate in difficulty.

Hikers should bring adequate water, snack or lunch depending on the length of the hike along with good hiking shoes and a hat.

Hikes are usually on Sundays and leave from the club parking lot at 8 am or 9 am as posted in the schedule on the club bulletin board. Schedules will be posted every three months and will give full descriptions of the hikes.
