Friday (December 10th) we were off to South Mountain. Travel time is about an hour depending upon traffic from our park. We hiked what is called "Hidden Valley Loop". Along the hike we went through Fatman's Pass and a natural tunnel. Hike is a total of 4.6 miles which we think was a bit off. Group took a wrong turn, which ended up in our favor. We hiked along a ridge and were given a panoramic view of the city of Phoenix and Casa Grand. A person could see for miles. As we neared the end of the ridge, we saw the trail that we were suppose to be on. So we had to bushwhack our way down the trail.

This was a very relaxing hike. The easiest that we have been on so far.
