If you’ve been looking for a fun, refreshing way to get outdoors, meet new people, and boost your fitness, Gila Community College has the perfect opportunity waiting for you. This spring, GCC is offering a Beginning Hiking Class, led by local outdoor enthusiast Thea Wilshire—and it’s designed for anyone ready to explore the beauty of Globe one step at a time.

These guided hikes are intentionally crafted for fitness, friendship, and adventure, offering 1–2 mile walks on mostly flat, accessible trails. No experience needed—just a good pair of shoes, a love for fresh air, and a desire to get moving. With 31 different routes, every outing feels like something new.

The Spring session kicks off January 12, and AZ residents 55+ can even enjoy free tuition, making it easier than ever to join the fun. Whether you’re looking to stay active, connect with others, or simply soak in the landscapes of Six Shooter Canyon and beyond, this class is the perfect way to start your year on the right foot.
