Great Fall Hike
Parked at the end of Ruthrauff and started hiking. The trail is in great shape as it circles the mountain looking for just the right spot to start ascending. Eventually it finds that spot and before I knew it I was on the summit. Great views, as expected!

Mines are cool
Loved the mines. Other than that this seems like a great jogging trail.

Kings Canyon to Gould Hill Mine-Esperanza Trail loop
Enjoyed this hike with my parents and husband on a brilliant, sunny spring day. Surprisingly, we had the summit to ourselves! We headed up the King's Canyon trail and returned via the Gould Hill Mine-Esperanza Trail. Fantastic day in the sun.

Hugh Norris Trail
A great one to do in December. The desert scenery is
nothing short of spectacular.

First Western Peak
My first time hiking on the western US and in the desert. A love affair started that day.
Classic Sonoran desert scenery. We did this as a loop going counterclockwise, King Canyon to the saddle with sweetwater then up to the summit and then down the Hugh Norris to Esperanza to Gould Mine. This was less than half a mile longer than an out and back via any option so it is a good way to do the peak.

Hugh Norris Trail
Great winter hike on an excellent trail. The views are unique -- there's just nothing to compare it to where I'm from. Saquaro cactus cover this mountain from bottom to top. Wow.

Loved this trail! Great views of Saguaro National Park, and an excellent way to see the desert up close. I have an in-depth trip report complete with photos on my website at Natural Born Hikers Feel free to check it out.
