Please realistically assess your ability to do this walk. Wear a hat, sun protection, appropriate clothing, and sturdy shoes, and bring water and a snack. Admission is free. Donations gratefully accepted.

Meet in the parking area at Murray Springs, about 1.5 miles north of highway 90 on Moson Road (just west of the Sierra Vista EOP). Note: there is no sign marking this road, but it is the only road headed from Moson in this vicinity.
