Brown Mountain Loop Hike (advanced beginner)

• 4.5 miles total (loop)
• Total elevation gain: 900'
• Rating: advanced beginner

This hike starts with a climb up the southeast side of the south peak of Brown Mt via a series of switch backs. The trail then winds its way along the ridge where we can stop and take in the views. It then crosses the saddle to the north peak before winding down along the east side on a series of switchbacks to the wash which is the same as the starting elevation. Here we will cross the wash to the Juan Santa Cruz Picnic Area for a snack break.

After snacks the hike finishes up with a gently rolling to flat meander above and along the wash to the starting point.

This hike will provide great views of the Tucson Mountains to the north, including the Red Rock area of the Western District of Saguaro National Park . We will also get great views of Golden Gate Peak and Cat Mountain to the east as well as expansive views to the south towards Kit Peak and the Baboquivari Mountains.
