If you are new to hiking or new to the Tucson/Sonoran Desert area this is a hike for you.

MeetUp Group hike leader Roger Nordby and I will be doubling up on this hike.
Although this hike falls within the Tucson Hiking MeetUp Group Hike Rating Scale (http://files.meetup.com/372195/Hike%20Rating%20Scale.pdf) for a "Beginner" class hike, I am giving it a Beginner + rating for the following reasons:

Two shallow stream crossings which will require boulder hopping or wading.

Some steep, rocky sections of trail.

Knowing this it would be a good idea to bring trekking poles or a walking stick and wear foot gear with sturdy, lug soles.

This hike will give you a good perspective on the canyon from floor level to a 400' perch looking down on the canyon. Nice...

Please Bring: 2+ liters of water, food for a snack, sun protection
