We will meet in the parking area for the Picture Canyon Trailhead at 8:00am, which is found on Route 66 and N El Paso Flagstaff Rd. If taking I-40 east, take exit 204, then turn left onto Route 66, and take a right onto N El Paso Flagstaff Rd. Dirt trails will be sloped in some spots but is all still easy walking, and outhouses are located in the parking area. This is a larger spot with 2-3 miles of walking and can take up to 3 hours, but there will be trails to turn back at many points throughout the area. Be sure to bring sunscreen, walking shoes, a hat, binoculars, and water. For any questions please reach out to Abbie Brozich at 480-519-0538
