1/1 6:50

Looking back at Tucson from the trailhead. Sunrise just starting to the east.

1/1 7:04

15 minutes later the sun is getting higher in the sky. Was able to stop walking with a flashlight about now.

1/1 7:04

Slight incline at the start of the trail.

1/1 7:33

Heading up the side of the valley there are some rocky parts.

1/1 8:01

The first little level part and the first tree since leaving the wash.

1/1 8:19

Just under 2hrs of hiking had this much elevation gain. Watching the sun slowly fill the valley was lovely.

1/1 8:32

Lots of fun places in this trail.

1/1 8:45

Great bare rock section.

1/1 9:44

1/1 10:12

Those are some cool rocks.

1/1 11:05

5 hours to the top of the mountain. Yay!

1/1 11:09

There's snow up here.

1/1 12:05

Stopped here for lunch. Was a bit confused because the trail was going down the north face of the mountain which was not where I thought I should have been going. A trail-runner confirmed that I was on the correct path. The trail is very ambiguous in this section. Follow the cairns.

1/1 12:15

Looking down on Oro Valley.

1/1 12:54

Getting into Pima Canyon proper. Some difficult stretches here.

1/1 13:04

Still in the upper reaches of the canyon.

1/1 13:11

Pima Spring. I wonder when the concrete was poured?

1/1 13:33

Just outstanding views....

1/1 13:44

...all along the route. Home still looks pretty far away here.

1/1 14:10

Incredible rocks here.

1/1 14:47

Mortar used for grinding mesquite flour by the native people of this land hundreds of years ago.

1/1 15:22

Trail conditions nearing the Pima Canyon Trailhead.

1/1 15:49

How did this happen?

1/1 15:50

Super bright walking back into the sun. I wish I had a hat.

1/1 16:08

Made it to the trailhead. 7miles (11.2km) to Kimball Peak that I passed almost exactly 5 hours previously.
