[C] Sweetwater Trail to the Saddle -- CANCELED

About this event

Sweetwater Trail to the Saddle. Rating: C. Pace: Moderate [434, 08:00 AM, $6]. The hike begins from the trailhead at the end of El Camino del Cerro on the east side of the Tucson Mountains. The trial passes through some of the prettiest saguaro forests in the area. Along the way there are good views of Tucson and Wasson Peak. The hike reaches a saddle where the trail joins the King Canyon Trail and returns. The King Canyon Trail, an alternate route to Wasson Peak, leads up from the Desert Museum on the west side of the Tucsons. We will have lunch at the saddle before heading back to the trailhead. Hike 6.8 miles; trailhead elevation 2800 feet; net elevation change 1200 feet; accumulated gain 1,100 feet; RTD 60 miles.
