Quail Run Dog Park
Mesa, AZ (30 min. drive from site)
7am-10pm daily, closed Thursdays for maintenance
While not as flash as Cosmo, this decent-sized dog park in
the north of Mesa is still worth a visit if you’re in the
neighborhood for errands. It also features an enclosure for
boisterous dogs and a separate side for small or timid
canines. Their website is down, but there are sure to be
common-sense rules. Represent our Rennie community
and respect them!

some of the most popular hikes in the region. Leashed Monday

Hieroglyphic Trail
2.9 miles round-trip of easy hiking
Ending in a view of ancient petroglyphs, and even
waterfalls after some rain, this popular trailhead is only a
15 minute drive from the faire site. Google may take you
to the wrong spot, so from Hwy 60 west, turn right at
Kings Ranch Rd. and go about 3 miles. Turn right at E
Baseline Ave, left at S Mohican, left at E Valley View and
right at E Cloudview. Continue to the trailhead. Be sure to
park in the lot and not along the road or you may be
towed.
Peralta Canyon
Approx. 5 miles round-trip of moderate-to-challenging
hiking
If you want to get on top of those amazing rocks visible
from site, then Peralta Canyon is the hike for you. After an
elevation gain of 1,400 ft in the first 2.5 miles, you and
your pooch will be rewarded with amazing views of the
valley and the Weaver’s Needle rock formation. From
Hwy 60 W, turn right on Peralta Canyon Rd and follow it
7.5 miles to the trailhead.

Friday 3/2: Outing to Deerfield Beach “Free Movie
2.4 mile loop of easy hiking
Though not the most impressive of hikes, the Silly in the Park”

facebook group
site, this a very easy hike suitable even for small children.
Sometimes waterfalls can be seen after rain, and the path
follows a botanical trail with descriptive markers of native
vegetation. From Hwy 60 west the parking lot is visible to
