I am celebrating my 50th year by hiking 50 different trails. I will be posting photos and information on each hike. Most of the trails will be in Arizona but some will be in other states or countries. Please send suggestions for any hikes you recommend. Thank you for reading my blog!

Hike #14 - Shaw Butte, Phoenix, AZ
Shaw Butte is in North Phoenix and is 4.1 miles RT with an 800' gain in elevation. Today was another warm day in the 70's and perfect for a hike. I hiked with a 7 people from meetup.com, Phoenix Christian Singles 40+. We started the trail at the North Mountain Visitor Center and made a loop around ending on a service road. There were a lot of video and cell phone antennas at the top. We also passed the remains of a restaurant called Cloud 9 that burned down in 1963. The only downside to this trail is there is a lot of loose rock to walk on.
