We’ll then caravan to the trailhead\, no later than 8:15am. The Avra Valley Airport is also known as the  Marana Regional Airport or the Marana NorthWest Regional Airport. Please arrive at the parking area on time so that we can get a head count. We don’t want to leave anyone on the trail. Retired DPS Sergeant Gregg Girard #1151 will be in the parking lot awaiting everyone. His cell number is 602.531.4466. \n\nIt takes about an hour to hike to the accident site from the trailhead. The terrain is steep and the footing loose in some areas. Please wear hiking boots (tennis shoes are not appropriate)\, long pants\, and gloves. Please be sure to bring water to drink and a hiking stick if needed. If you’re wondering if this hike will continue in inclement weather… two years ago 19 brave souls completed the hike in a cold rain.\n\nBelow are directions to Waterman Peak (If you decide to bypass the staging area:not recommended) \n\nTAKE AVRA VALLEY ROAD EXIT OFF I-10\, GO WEST (THIS IS THE SAME EXIT TO MARANA AIRPORT)\nDRIVE 18 MILES\, TURN LEFT AT A ROAD THAT HAS A LARGE BOLDER ON THE CORNER\, AND A BROKEN SIGN THAT SAYS PIONEER ROCK QUARRY (OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT).\nFOLLOW THIS ROAD A COUPLE MILES TO THE PARKING AREA.\nSILVERBELL MINE IS THE PEAK JUST NORTH OF WATERMAN PEAK AND IS READILY VISIBLE.\nTHERE IS A MEMORIAL TO LOREN ON TOP OF THE PEAK AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH\, WHICH TOOK LOREN’S LIFE ON JANUARY 31\, 2011\n\nTHE ELEVATION OF WATERMAN PEAK IS 1\,123 METERS \nGPS OF THE PEAK IS\n32°20’59.26” N\n111°28’24.41W URL:https://aztroopers.org/event/memorialhike2017 LOCATION:Avra Valley Airport\, 11700 W Avra Valley Rd\, \, Marana\, AZ\, 85653\, United States CATEGORIES:Memorial ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aztroopers.org/wp-content/uploads/Hike-Banner.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="AZTroopers":MAILTO:info@aztroopers.org GEO:32.406215;-111.214745 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Avra Valley Airport 11700 W Avra Valley Rd Marana AZ 85653 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=11700 W Avra Valley Rd\,:geo:-111.214745,32.406215 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
