| the hike |
Round Mountain Park is a 386 acre park in Globe, AZ, with 6 different hiking trails.
There are picnic ramadas, benches, and a visitor center with restrooms. I don’t
think our club has hiked here yet. But it is listed in Mare Czinar’s book
Phoenix Magazine - The Hike Book Volume 1, so I thought we should give this
park a try!
The trails are rated as easy to moderate, and we will see boulders, shallow caves and a rock formation known as “Bull’s Eye Rock.” At the highest point there is a 360-degree view of the Pinal Mountains and an ore pit. The plan is for us to hike all 6 trails. Required: • Sturdy hiking boots • At least 3 liters of water • Rain poncho • Hat, sunblock, sunglasses Recommended: • Lunch or snacks • Camera |
