Members Hike to Leroux Springs

Monday, June the 15th at 10:00am

$30 per person

Limit of 12 Participants

Conducted by Richard McGaugh and Monica Buckle

Visit Leroux Springs and celebrate the upcoming 250-year anniversary of America’s Independence. This site showcases much of Northern Arizona’s American history. 

Join us for a hike in the cool pines and wildflowers near Flagstaff. Located at the base of Flagstaff's San Francisco Peaks are located two springs, big and little Leroux Springs have long been an important continuous source of water, and a reliable source of water for thousands of years. Indigenous Americans, explorers, and homesteaders all used this vital water source.

We will meet at 9:45am in the parking area at the Northwest corner of Snowbowl Road and Highway 180. Be prepared for a 3-mile walk, bring sturdy walking shoes, sun protection, water, snacks, and if needed walking sticks. Participants must be comfortable walking 3-miles roundtrip and at an elevation of 7,000 feet.

After the hike join us in downtown Flagstaff for a group lunch at Bigfoot BBQ Restaurant. Please note, transportation is not provided and lunch is a separate expense.
