  Surrounding the base of 2,608-foot Piestewa Peak, Phoenix Mountains Park Recreation Area, Dreamy Draw Recreation Area, in addition to North Mountain are gateways into diverse desert landscapes that offer everything from fantastic views to secluded valleys. These areas boast dozens of miles of multi-use trails. ​
  

  Geology

  While the actual rocks of the Phoenix Mountains (including the areas around Piestewa Peak and North Mountain) are very old. The mountain shapes are, geologically speaking, quite young. They were formed about 14 million years ago the crust of the earth was gradually stretched from northeast to southwest, elevating mountain ranges and down-dropping basins between them. Much of the area’s rock is a metamorphic type of granite known as schist. Mercury mines were harvested in today’s Dreamy Draw Recreation Area.

  ​The hike will be approximately 1.5 hours. 

  Nonmembers joining Desert Adventures enjoy 3 FREE Member Parties and yearly savings. Membership costs just $25.00.

  Phoenix City Grille is a contemporary neighborhood restaurant. We respectfully incorporate both new and traditional ideas into our menu and into the restaurant itself. We are locally owned and managed, with many of our wonderful staff having been with us for years.

  "Cozy Cafe"

  This friendly neighborhood hangout feels like it's been around for much longer than it has. Probably because of the old black-and-white photos of Phoenix that cover the walls or the ease with which the patrons settle in for a casual meal or a drink at the bar. Whatever the reason, you will feel comfortable and welcome here. The menu features large portions of all-American mains with Southwestern twists. Pizzas and light bites perfectly complement a glass of wine, beer or cocktail from the bar.

  
  

  New friends that become members save on paid events in the future. In addition, there are 3 FREE MEMBERS' PARTIES to enjoy EACH YEAR.

  Diversity in hiking! Each week, by Saturday night, hikers who have signed up for a Sunday hike with Jon will receive an email with the location of the Sunday hike. The hikes will be on Piestewa Peak, Dreamy Draw, or North Mountain. Adding the area to the weekly calendar on the website will also make it easy to see the location of the hike.

  Surrounding the base of 2,608-foot Piestewa Peak, Phoenix Mountains Park Recreation Area, Dreamy Draw Recreation Area, in addition to North Mountain are gateways into diverse desert landscapes that offer everything from fantastic views to secluded valleys. These areas boast dozens of miles of multi-use trails. ​
  

  Geology

  While the actual rocks of the Phoenix Mountains (including the areas around Piestewa Peak and North Mountain) are very old. The mountain shapes are, geologically speaking, quite young. They were formed about 14 million years ago the crust of the earth was gradually stretched from northeast to southwest, elevating mountain ranges and down-dropping basins between them. Much of the area’s rock is a metamorphic type of granite known as schist. Mercury mines were harvested in today’s Dreamy Draw Recreation Area.

  ​The hike will be approximately 1.5 hours. 

  Nonmembers joining Desert Adventures enjoy 3 FREE Member Parties and yearly savings. Membership costs just $25.00.

  At Barro’s Pizza, our pizza can only be described as a combination of thick and fluffy crust, paired with a perfected tangy and sweet, spiced sauce—the Barro family secret. Add generous amounts of the highest quality mozzarella for the flawless trifecta of pizza ingredients.

  The Barro’s Pizza family recipe goes back to when Grandma Angelina Barro was making pizza and pasta in her own home back in Italy. Her recipes were passed down through the generations and are now used in the family business today.

  In the 1960s, four scrappy young men from New Jersey -- Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito -- have the magic sound that propels them from singing under streetlights to singing in spotlights. With songs like "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry" and "Walk Like a Man," the quartet finds itself at the top of the charts. However, personal and professional problems threaten to tear the group apart.

  There will be no refunds. If you cannot use your ticket(s) please find someone who can use the ticket(s) and contact the host. We have 10 tickets.

  Named for the towering pines under which it sits, Ponderosa Campground is tucked in the rolling forests of northern Arizona.

  Larger ponderosas release a vanilla scent into the air and have a relatively open understory, making the area perfect for camping. Mixed into the understory are junipers, oaks and manzanita shrubs.

  We are in Group site F, the larger of the 2 group sites which has a restroom, drinking water spigot, many picnic tables, grills & firepits. Our group site can accommodate tents & trailers. There is a RV dump at the entrance for a $10 fee. 

  You can also join us Saturday @ 6pm for dinner at Diamond Point Shadows Restaurant, 7 miles back towards Payson.

  Payson is just 19 miles from our group site.

  Your event host will be Rion. His information will be provided on your confirmation email.

  Located just 9 miles from Jerome Arizona in the Prescott National Forest, this site provides a quiet and tranquil escape from the city and is still in the middle of both great shopping and history. Spend a day in Jerome or doing wine tastings in nearby Cottonwood and Prescott Valley

  Facilities:The site has a large group gathering place with picnic tables, grills, a large fire pit and vault toilet and is adjacent to a family picnic area. There is no drinking water available. The nearby towns of Prescott Valley and Cottonwood have grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, shopping and other conveniences.

  Natural Features: The campground is in a secluded site in the tall ponderosa pine trees. Pleasant daytime temperatures and cool mountain breezes make it a nice respite from the summer heat of nearby deserts.

  Recreation: The surrounding forest offers many hiking trails of various levels of intensity, from easy short-distance walks to more challenging elevated climbs. Campers who need a break from hiking can relax around the campground, take in the views and listen to the sound of the wind in the pines.

  NEarby Attractions: A short drive away is the colorful town of Jerome, an abandoned mining town that has been transformed into an artist and tourist community.
  
  Tuzigoot National Monument, an ancient ruin of the Sinaguan culture, and Dead Horse Ranch State Park, which has mountain biking, canoeing and fishing along the Verde River, are also close by.

  Join us for one of our most spectacular campouts of the year! This is rustic dispersed camping at its best. We will be along the Mogollon Rim in the tall pines at the best time of year. With one ticket purchase, you can camp for as many of the  13 nights as you wish. Only available on weekends? come for just the weekends. Only available during the week? Join us when you can. Never rustic camped before? Come and learn from those who have!

  Forming the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau, the Mogollon Rim drops up to 2,000 feet in some areas for a breathtaking overlook of Arizona’s untamed wilderness. Outdoor recreation of all kinds is a favorite activity throughout the Rim, as it boasts part of the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world and a number of lakes that draw in an ever expanding herd of elk. While the lakes and forest roads that wind throughout this amazing area draw in outdoorsman galore, the quieter hiking trails that weave deep into the wilderness also have plenty of their own appeal. Here are some of the best trails the Rim and its surrounding areas have to offer.

  Important Information: Because this is dispersed camping, we will not now our final location until June 10. Registrants should plan on receiving final location and direction the evening of June 10 via e-mail. THis is a Pack-it-in/Pack-it-out event. Registrants will be responsible for providing their own food, water, and equipment, and hauling out all trash and waste.

  CANCELLATION NOTE: You MUST cancel before 6/1/25 to get a refund.
