ADT and I have been doing some hiking on the popular Finger Rock trail to get in shape for a Zion trip at the end of May - the Finger Rock trail is perfect: steep, rocky and plenty of hot sun. A great destination on the Finger Rock trail is Linda Vista - an interesting view from the Santa Catalina mountains back into Tucson. The trail continues up into the Mount Kimball area - but 7 miles and 2500' of elevation gain with canyon gear is enough for me at this point...

[We are thinking about heading into the canyon bottom and taking it down (instead of the trail) - anyone know if this is a fun section of canyon?]
