Hikes, Bikes & Flowers

Sunset looking eastward to
the Catalina Mountains from Jada's campsite.

Spring in Arizona is a beautiful time.  To spend those days with a native Tucsonan hiking and biking the area adds special insights that only a local can provide.

May 9, 2023 we hiked in Sabino Canyon,
along Sabino Creek, swollen with snowmelt.

The Creek is high enough to wash over the roadway.

Jada's daughter invited us to a baseball game at the
University of Arizona, Jada's alma mater.

After the game we went hiking on Sentinel Peak,
also known as "A" Mountain, as
the U of A has built a huge letter "A"
at the peak overlooking downtown Tucson.
