Box Camp, Sabino Canyon, Phoneline to Sabino Canyon Visitor Center – 2014/1/12
Top to bottom classic! There were patches of snow at the start of the trail but hints of winter disappeared quickly into shorts and t-shirt weather. Still a thrill after more than a decade to start high on the mountain and end down in town!
Night from the Pontatoc Ridge Trail – 2014/1/5
Hiked the Pontatoc Ridge Trail to the ‘End of Trail’ sign – Sunset and darkness on the trail with Alison. We were later than planned and returned to find one of our car windows smashed – nothing of note to steal so just glass shards and insurance to deal with – not the only time we know of this happening at this trailhead.

A great start to the New Year! Pontatoc Ridge Trail to the end of trail sign with Alison.
Mint Spring and Aspen Trails – 2013/12/29
Mint Spring was a joy with snow on the trail – continued up to the top of the mountain via the Aspen Trail – past the running ski lift – the Summit Parking covered in snow – the top emptier than usual – surprised to see the Turkeys, assumed they would be lower.
