Meet at LeBuzz Bakery at 7:00am for coffee/pastry enjoyment and a 7:30am rideshare departure.

This trail will be most enjoyed by experienced hikers. We will carpool up Mt. Lemmon to the lower trailhead for Butterfly Trail. We will hike down the trail then up to Mt. Bigelow radio towers. From there we take a service road to a side trail that follows a small creek.

The first part of the trail will be sun exposed. Please plan your sun protection. There are two natural break spots, one at the bottom of the trail, and one about halfway up the other side of the trail. We can lunch at the top of the trail at the intersection of Incinerator Ridge. I am a democratic organizer, so if the group wants to lunch/break at other points then lets do it!

May I suggest:
-snack (plan for six + hours on the trail)
-3+ liters of water
-sun protection
-camera (?)
-binoculars (?)

We will be ridesharing up the mountain. Each car will need a Sabino Canyon pass or $5 to enter the mountain. If you are a passenger in a carpool, please offer gas money to your driver. If you've never been to LeBuzz bakery before, may I recommend you arrive early and experience their amazing pastries and coffee. :)

Look forward to sharing my Saturday morning with you. Email me with any questions.

Hike at your own risk. I do not carry first aid supplies with me.
