Like to hike, but not sure where to go? Join Parks and Recreation hiking instructors for a Payson Area Trails System (PATS) Group-Led Hike on the Monument Peak Loop Trail on Saturday, July 24 starting at 8 a.m.

Participants will meet at the Monument Peak Loop Trailhead, which is approximately 3.3 miles east of Arizona Highway 260 on Granite Dells Road. The hike is three miles long and is easy hiking, with a mostly crushed granite trail surface and only a few inclines. Expect a little seasonal water on the trail.

This is a FREE event to the public. Don’t forget your hiking boots and water! Pre-registration is preferred, but participants can also register the day of the event. Please call the Payson Parks and Recreation Department @ 474-5242 x 358 for more information, or visit www.paysonparks.com.
