100 Miles in 100 Day Challenge:
https://www.maricopa.gov/parks/100miles.aspx
We have done the Go John trail last year but this year we decided to do the Maricopa 100 miles in 100 day challenge. Today we did the GoJohn trail counter clockwise. Let the games begin. 100 miles left to go!
This trail is beautiful. You get a couple different elevations. You can see the Elephant on the Mountain at Spurs Crossing. We will be hiking over there next week. You can pick up the Maricopa Trail here as well which connects the Maricopa parks to each other.
Enjoy the pictures:
Maricopa Trail starts after the gate. If we did GoJohn from the West (clockwise) and came down the hill less than 2 miles we hit the gate. 4.2 between here and Spur Crossing Gate. Then Spur Crossing to parking lot. Great 10 miler I plan to do soon. Just need to park one car down there or call Julio our Huber driver. HA!
Up the last hill and head down to the parking lot. View to the South of the Valley!
