For our May hike, it'll be getting a little warmer so we're heading out of town!
This hike can be done by families or troops, following current Covid protocol.
Date: May 8. Meet between 9-10am before heading down the trail.
Location: Water Wheel Falls
Navigate to: Water Wheel, Arizona 85541
This location is off the Houston-Mesa Rd, northeast of Payson AZ. It's about 1.5 hours from Scottsdale.
The trail is about 1.6 miles, out and back. Lots of walking/climbing over large rocks, and you'll be hiking down a stretch of the Verde River so wear old shoes. Everybody can cool off and play in the river. There are some pretty waterfalls and stunning rock formations.
As always, wear closed-toed shoes, a hat, and sunscreen. Bring a water bottle. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the day!
This is a perfect location to work on your Nature Photography badges or do some Citizen Science like iNaturalist or just cool down and play. :)
