| Get Ready for the Turkey Fitness Hike - Cave Creek Park |

| Let’s get ready to eat! Here at the park we feel a bit better if we lose those few pounds before we put them back on around the holidays. We will enjoy the amazing views of Cave Creek Regional Park while we keep our legs moving and our hearts pumping on this moderate 3.5 mile hike. Along the way you will get to know some other hikers and receive some great tips on general fitness and hiking gear from Ranger Jim. Remember, always bring plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes or boots.
*This hike will be every Thursday in October to help you get into a routine. |
