4 Ideas for 2019
We Can Help to Make the Most Out of the New Year! Let's Go Outside!
It's 2019 and you're itching to get at those New Year's resolutions, right?
Hiking
If you're looking to get out and enjoy the weather and local trails, hiking will definitely do the trick. A great way to get your heart rate up, jumping on a trail will get you the exercise and love our great state has to offer you. The Arizona Trailblazers Hiking Club has several different day hikes each month with a few overnighters sprinkled in. Hiking with the Trailblazers is free, except for any pre-paid passes or park entrance feels that are required. They're happy to have you join them. A $5 voluntary contribution per non-member is allowed, should you want to donate to the club. Need a trekking pole or camping equipment for a weekend trip? Check out our rental equipment page for everything you’ll need to make it a great trip.
Climbing
Rock climbing is one of the best overall activities you can put your body through. For 55 years, the Arizona Mountaineering Club (AMC) has been “hanging out” as some of the best places around Arizona. Whether you comfort zone is indoors or pulling a 5.9 on Sphinctre Boy, the AMC can put you at ease with your choice. Annual memberships to the club are $40 per person or $50 for a family. Oh, and a membership gets you a discount in our store!
Canyoneering
Looking to jump into canyoneering with both feet, but you’ve never even touched a rope? Rappel away with Arizona Rock & Canyon Adventures. They have the course for you, from novice to lead climbing. The Intro to Canyoneering Course is $295 and done at North Mountain Park over two days. The “Teach/Show/Do method works great toyou’re your new skills to use.
Kayaking
Of course, when you think of Arizona, you think of water! Mostly because you want to drink it, but there’s more out there to be had. Our friends at South by Southwest Adventures provide all you’ll need to have some fun on the water. The Crew can help with rentals, planning a trip, or provide a guide to take you down the river or out to the lake. They’ll teach you to enjoy your surroundings, how tips for success, and have you wanting to come back again.
