We will be gathering at a small coffee bar in the Mercado Annex (267 S. Avenida Del Convento) and Kim will lead our discussion of The Walk of a Lifetime.

About 3 mile with 750 elevation gain walk – in the city and it usually ends just about the time the bistro’s start opening.

Bring food, a chair and a drink of choice – lets talk!

This month we will be doing the Pima Canyon Trail up to the first dam – about 6 miles roundtrip with only about 700ft elevation gain. It is a lovely mix of terrain and is serene and beautiful. Bring a snack and plenty of water for our turnaround point – the views are amazing. We…

We will gather at 6:00pm at the southern ramada of Sabino Canyon Recreation Area Visitor Center (VC) and walk the tramway to the end or as far as you wish. There are ramadas on the west-side of the VC – those are NOT where we will gather. It will be dark by the time you…
