★★★★★
This is a very delightful hike on good trails. Unlike canyon hikes, this hike has minimal rock and boulder scrambles. After a mile long trek from the trailhead on flat, sandy ground the trail climbs to a high ridge where it intersects the Hugh Norris trail. This trail travels on relatively smooth dirt along a high ridge with beautiful long range 360 degree views of the Tucson area. Generous switchbacks moderate the climbs so it’s very comfortable for most hikers.
