Finger Rock Trail to Linda Vista Saddle. Rating: B. Pace: Moderate [192, 08:00 AM, $6]. The hike begins from the Finger Rock Trailhead at the north end of Alvernon Way. The hike starts on level ground for about a mile, and then sharply climbs 2500 feet to the Linda Vista Saddle. Scrambling is necessary at some points going up.  From the Saddle, hikers can enjoy the beautiful vistas of Mt. Kimball, the Santa Ritas, and Tucson as it spreads out below and into the distance. We will descend on the newly created connector trail to the Pontatoc Trail. Hike 7.0 miles; trailhead elevation 3120 feet; net elevation change 2530 feet; RTD 44 miles.
