The Prescott Hiking Club is located in Prescott, Arizona. Hikes are offered for all ability levels several days per week; we also have monthly camping trips, and periodic picnics and parties. Members live in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and other Central Yavapai County areas. Dues are $5 per household, annually. Membership is open to anyone interested.

Special Events & Announcements
Saturday Fast Hikes—For
the past few years, the club has scheduled Saturday Fast Hikes only in
the summer months of June to August.
In this past meeting, we decided to extend the Saturday Fast Hikes to a
year-round basis. Saturday hikes will be treated in the same manner as
Thursday hikes: a hike leader is appointed, and the actual hike details
are sent the weekend before in the weekly Fast Hike email.
More “exploratory or scouting” hikes are to be encouraged. These hikes may include some difficult trails or some bushwhacking as we try to find some new hiking locations.
Slow Hikes on Campouts
Both the April and May campouts had both Fast and Slow hikes scheduled by the campout leaders. This practice is encouraged, and we hope that more Slow Hikers will attend the campouts. They are great fun!
Picnics: Potluck; bring your own plate, utensils, and chairs!
