Thank you to everyone who came to our first Toddlers Trails & Tales event! 25 parents/caregivers signed in… add the kids and we had a total of 50+ people fill our wonderful educational facility with little laughs & lots of learning this morning!

Special guests & speakers included: Debbie Hendricks/Just Roughin’ It, Claire Miller/City of Phoenix Park Ranger Supervisor, Kristen Keogh/fellow toddler mom & outdoorsy era influencer.

It was so nice to get outside for a short scavenger hunt, have snack & storytime, and connect with families who love the desert as much as we do. ❤️ 🌵 #SaveOurMountainsFoundation #northmountainaz #VisitArizona #VisitPhoenix

In case you missed this morning's 7:45am live segment on FOX 10 with Desiree Fluellen, here it is! The short stroller-friendly paved trail behind our building is a hidden gem and perfect for toddlers. Love that drone shot! Watch Save Our Mountains Foundation's executive director's 3-year-old daughter steal the show! #hiking #toddlers #NorthMountain

☀️ Golden Girls of Phoenix ☀️

These three ladies in tennis shoes are a big part of the reason the Phoenix Mountain Preserve System exists today. #wisdomwednesday

Their passion and foresight to fight for open space in the 70s is inspiring & saved the desert for you to hike & enjoy.

The City of Phoenix officially honored their years of service & impact in April 1995.

The recognition reads in part:

Now therefore be it resolved:
“That the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Board recognizes and salutes, Dottie Gilbert, Ruth Hamilton, and Maxine Lakin, for their years of dedicated service and community leadership to the Phoenix Mountains Preserve Program…”

LAST CALL! So far… 19 parents have DM’d us giving us the heads up they’re interested in coming to this Thursday’s 10am Toddlers Trails & Tales event. We know everyone might not make it… because well… kids (IYKYK). If you’re late, it’s ok. We’ll be going strong until 11:30am. We have plenty of space & sensory stations where kids can rotate. Regardless, it’ll be fun & educational! Also, I buried the lead. FOX 10 is scheduled to preview the event the day of at 7:40am (subject to change). #nature #toddler #storytime #Phoenix #Arizona
