Hikers!! The hiking group will officially start on Wednesday, Jan 3, 2018. We will meet in front of the Activity office at 8am and our first hike will be close to home at Casa Grande Mountain. It will be on a trail that is rated easy. How far we hike will be decided that morning by the group. Future hikes will be posted in Activities as well as an interest sign up sheet, although it is not necessary to sign up to go on a hike. I am a relative newbie to hiking but wanted to keep the group going here at Sundance so I welcome suggestions and assistance along the way!
