The Tucson Hiking Meetup Group

Join us for a Sabino Canyon Loop, a little different than my last Sabino Canyon Loop.

Our hike starts on the Bear Canyon Trail and takes us to the Sabino Lake Trail-Bluff Trail-Sabino Walkway-Rattlesnake Trail-Esperero Trail-Bear Canyon Trail-End.

The total distance is 3.4 miles, and the terrain is Easy-Moderate, with no lengthy up sections. Our expected hike time is 1 1/2 hours, with an estimated total time of 1 3/4 hours. This equates to an average hiking speed of 2.25 miles per hour, which might be considered moderate, considering the moderate difficulty. Sign up if you are in good hiking shape, able to go at a moderate, not slow, pace.

Bring at least 1 liter of water for the 1 3/4 hour hike. Note that entry to Sabino Canyon requires an $8 fee if you don't have a pass.

By RSVP-ing "Yes" to this event you are agreeing to hold the event host/organizer not liable for any personal injury, death or property damage that occurs during the event or in transit to and from this event, including, but not limited to, your failure to stay with the leader and group throughout the event.

The hikers will gather at the corner of West Anklam and Tumamoc Hill road at 5:15 pm and take a quick walk up the hill. Please remember to bring water and a flashlight in case the moon is hiding. Here's the skinny: 3.1 miles roundtrip, 730 ft climb. This is not a guided tour. Since we will be going at our own pace to stay in shape, this may not be an appropriate hike for beginners or first timers.

Important Note: This is a regularly event every Wednesday, an organizer may not attend. There are a number of other members who do this walk though. If you are coming for the first time, look for a group of people at the start of the paved path by Anklam Road. Keep in mind that Tumamoc is very popular, i.e. there may be a 200 other people walking up the hill. Just look for a group of people (3 or more) at the start of the path and don't hesitate to approach and ask them if they are the hiking group. The group leaves promptly. If you are late, you are still welcome to walk the hill by yourself. Thank you for your understanding and Happy Trails!

Be adult and responsible; hike at your own risk.
