Hiking Fellowship
HIKING FELLOWSHIP:
 
The Rotary Club of Tucson has a Hiking Fellowship. Organized weekend hikes happen once a month and are of various lengths and difficulty. Bruce Richardson Bruce.Richardson@trulynolen.com coordinates the hikes for the Club. If you are interested in hiking just email Bruce so, he can add you to the distribution list. Members that are interested in leading hikes on alternate days/dates or level of difficulty are encouraged to share that with Bruce so he can coordinate the schedule and let membership know.
 
 
 

Upcoming Hike:

Saturday, May 16th - From the Summit trailhead, Meadow & Mount Lemmon Loop

 

Due to the increase in daytime temperatures, the May hike will move to the top of Mount Lemmon for some cooler conditions.  


This month’s trek will take us to the top of Mount Lemmon for a shorter — but no less scenic — hike through the pine trees. From the trailhead, we will begin on the Meadow Trail, offering breathtaking views before eventually connecting with the Mount Lemmon Trail for the ascent back to the trailhead. The hike also includes a great optional spur to the fire observation overlook, featuring some of the best views anywhere on the mountain.

 

The overall hike distance is up to 2.6 miles with approximately 400 feet of elevation gain. While the hike itself will be fairly quick, this will be our first real adventure at altitude, so please plan accordingly and bring sufficient water and snacks.

 

Meet-up and departure will be from LeBuzz, located at Catalina Highway and Tanque Verde, with a meet time of 6:30 AM and departure at 6:45 AM. We anticipate beginning the hike around 8:00 AM. The hike should take approximately 2–2.5 hours and will be followed by a stop at Beyond Bread, located at the Mount Lemmon Lodge, for a caffeinated beverage and tasty snack.

Hike On and see you on the trails!
