    Located in Saguaro National Park West. I started in the early morning just after sunrise and followed the King's Canyon Trail to the summit of Wasson Peak and descended on the Hugh Norris trail...

  • By Travis
    Started at El Camino del Cerro trailhead. Overall was a nice hike, not really any shade unless the sun is low in the sky, can get windy at the top, trail is maintained well, and easy to navigate. Great views of the city and also looking south over the Tucson mountain range.
  • By Brian Berger
    Great viewpoint. Last stretch of King Canyon trail is tough. I went when it was 90s out and there's really no shade. Bring lots of water.
