Looks like I'll be traveling to Phoenix to stalk Doug Ritter on business soon. There is a very, very slight chance I might have some time to kill and I noticed I'm staying near the northeast corner of South Mountain Park .

Worth bringing my hiking gear? Anything I need to know besides hydrate and watch out for rattlers?

I wonder where they learned that from...
