5-18-11 - We had a great day of hiking at South Mountain which is about 50 miles from Happy Trails. Our friends the Krafft's, Don & Sharon took us out for this hike today.
So now we know why this trail is called fatman pass. This small trail through solid rock is really not for a fatman but someone with a slight build. The rock is rubbed smooth from people going through this small opening in the rocks.
This hike was a total of 5.7 miles and the weather was just great. We had some clouds, some blue sky, some sun and also a few drops of rain. Didn't have enough rain to hurt anything but made the day interesting. We couldn't have asked for a matter day for this hike.
We knew where we were but still had some nice signs to follow while doing this hike. The City of Phoenix have five Regional parks in the valley and this is probably one of the nicest parks in the system.
Then after the hike we went for a ride and found a very nice restaurant called "The Farm at South Mountain". The only problem was that we arrived 20 minutes after the restaurant had closed. The hours during the week are 10-3. It is a really neat place to go for lunch and in a farm/park setting. We had been to this place one other time and the food is really great and such a nice area to eat and just like a park.
