The weather is getting cooler and everyone is ready to get into the great outdoors for fresh air and to break the cabin fever.

The Town of Fountain Hills wants to encourage residents to participate in an upcoming Hiking Challenge set for November.

Complete five hikes that total approximately 32 miles and do it all in the month of November. The hikes include:

Scenic Loop Trail – 4.2 miles, 300-foot elevation gain, easy to moderate.

Sunrise Trail (Scottsdale Preserve) to Andrews/Kinsey Trail – 6.8 miles, 1,100-foot elevation gain, moderate.

Golden Eagle Trailhead to Dixie Mine – 5.4 miles, 700-foot elevation gain, moderate to difficult.

Golden Eagle Trailhead to Preserve – 7.9 miles, 1,500-foot elevation gain, moderate to difficult.

There is a $10 registration fee that includes a Fountain Hills Hiking Challenge commemorative T-shirt. Register at fh.az.gov/recreation.

Participants are invited to share their hiking photos to be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card to Just Roughin’ It.
