7:00 AM in the M&I Bank parking lot west of Denny’s on the SW
corner of I-17 & Bell Road. Carpooling arrangements will be made there.
We should take as few cars as possible because of limited parking at the
trailhead and to save on the cost of permits.

110 miles from Bell Road to Munds Wagon Trailhead (220 round trip).
Note: Schnebly Hill Road is rough and unsuitable for ordinary passenger cars.
