Tina completed the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port in Spring of 2018 and in May 2025 she walked her favorite 100KM with her family (mom @ 80, aunt & cousin). She has experience using Camino Ways to handle logistics and baggage transfers, as well as planning it herself (baggage transfer for her mom). She carried her pack and took her time with the family Camino. She also has experience biking the Meseta (2018). She is currently one of the coordinators for the chapter. If you have questions about this event, contact Tina at 602.722.0612.

We will share the trail with other hikers and mountain bikers so despite our engaging conversations we will be aware of our surroundings and courteous by stepping off the trail or walking single file when necessary.
Reminders: Our chapter activities are led by volunteers. Donativo contributions (cash only) are greatly appreciated and are used to support future activities. Look for the orange donativo jar by the signup at the beginning of each hike.
We always gather in the spirit of the Camino; therefore the hike leader will maintain awareness of the pace of the group, and will stop periodically at trail intersections to allow all participants to catch up. Hikers/walkers are differently abled and will not finish at the same time. There will be a sweep for larger groups and no hiker will be abandoned. Please review the trail description before signing up to be sure the hike is right for you and your abilities.
