We will gather in the parking lot at 6:15a, if going to mass at 6:30a. Otherwise, be at the Cathedral parking lot by 7:15a for a 7:30a departure. The distance is 10 miles (one way) over a relatively flat surface except for an area where we will need to traverse a culvert via a ladder…

As we walk, we watch the sun rise. At the top we do our traditional Photo op, head back down and go for coffee.

This is a 7 1/2 mile (round trip) walk. We reach an elevation of about 700 feet. We make a brief stop at the top to rest and snack, before heading back. Bring a sufficient amount of water to stay hydrated, and a snack for energy.

We gather, we bring our own beverage of choice, and if you would like to bring a breakfast snack to share, it is always appreciated.

I seem to be on a kick of introducing you to new hikes – so enough with a normal October saunter! We are going to give Mt. Lemmon another go – lower areas of Mt. Lemmon though. We will walk from Gordon Hirabayashi Campground into Sycamore Canyon. The out and back trail is 5.5 miles…

Our next hike will be in Madera Canyon in acknowledgement of our South of Tucson pilgrims. We will meet at 8:00am at the “Supertrail” Trailhead at the end of Madera Canyon Road. I’ll be in the red Toyota 4Runner. I have included a schematic of the trailhead area and a photo of the restroom, better…

The book is “The Way Is Made By Walking” by Arthur Paul Boers. If you have not finished reading the book, please come anyway. There will be lively discussion, and it’s an opportunity to gather with pilgrims.

About 3 miles round-trip with 750 foot elevation gain. Hosted by Leonard Vance – post-walk coffee may be back but you won’t know unless you join us! No need to RSVP, just show up!

We will take our monthly 7 1⁄2 mile stroll up the tram road. There is about a 700 foot elevation gain. We gather at 6:30 PM at the southern ramada and walk the tramway to the end, or as far as you want. We recommend you bring a good amount of water to stay well…

We start arriving at 6:30 AM and usually stay until 9 AM. Bring your own chair, bring your morning beverage of choice and perhaps a breakfast item to share. Come with questions, we have the answers!
