I’m game. Live in NW Phoenix, but work in Sdale, so could meet after work as well. Lots of trails in my AO. I’m outta shape but committed to not being that way for much longer. I’m also in the Payson area often if folks want to ruck near there.

I'm in surprise and would be down. I have a bad back, so long walks on the beach aren't what gets my juices flowing, but willing to meet up and hike as far as I'm able to.

I may be interested.
Been considering trying to put together a monthly training meetup on public land, but couldn't get much interest on the various local FB groups. |

Just starting to think about places. Deem Hills is in NW Valley (I-17 and Happy Valley area). Has a decent network of trails, with moderate elevation gains.
Given it is in Phoenix, and is a city park, here's the relevant firearms code: https://www.codepublishing.com/AZ/Phoenix/?compiled-Phoenix24/Phoenix24.html Norterra is near there for after hike beverages and food. Front Pourch brewing is also nearby, family owned, and good peeps. |

Here we are at weeks end all. It doesn't look like we are really grouped on one side of the city.
What I would propose is that we plan to move the hikes around the city to share the burden of travel. That being said, I would also propose that the team members in their "area" recommend a hike area that they are familiar with and can describe. Length, elevation and elevation change during the hike, water availability, etc. That way all the members can determine if it fits with their capabilities or not. The other item we should try and figure out is frequency and target days of the week. Night or evening hikes for those with night vision are possible, as well as perhaps a weekend combo hike and shoot in a more remote area of the desert for those interested. To be clear, we are NOT looking to re-create bootcamp here!!! Just something fun and relaxing, meet some new friends etc. Everyone pop in their availability over the weekend as well as suggested hike locations and Ill collect them in the OP for easy reference. Thanks everyone. Looking forward to meeting you all. |

I don't mind traveling within an hour of Phoenix. Tuesdays work best for me but with a little notice I could attend other days.
San Tan Regional Park is a great place for a hike. We could do a quick up and down of the mountain there, it's only about 35 min up and not too difficult. There are also tons of rolling trails if guys wanted to do a longer hike, sky is the limit how long you want to be there. I've hiked all the trails and am very familiar with the park there. Think it's $7-8 for a day parking fee. San Tan Flat is nearby if guys want to grab some food or beers afterwards. |

Hey all,

The first pinned thread has a map for your locale.

Correct. You can go to the top and back down on the front and it's not to long distance wise but elevation gain is high. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Is AZ Battle Buddies more formalized than this thread yet?
Might be beneficial to form local informal "squads." Unfortunately I work weekends right now, but I'd be down for some weekday hikes in north Maricopa County or central AZ, and I do know some legal shooting spots that can accomodate a group from pistol to precision rifle distance. |
