Wasson Peak

Where: Tucson, AZ

Trail: Wasson Peak: King Canyon Trail in Saguaro National Park (West) in the Tucson Mountains. 7.1 miles, 1939-foot elevation change. Peak 4687 feet.

When: January 25, 2009

Weather: Bright and sunny with temperatures in the low 70s.

Birds of note: Black-tailed Gnatcatcher (first sighting)

Trail notes: After climbing for 2 ½ hours, you would hope to reach the summit and find some spectacular views, restful respite, and peaceful solitude. But no. At the peak was a hiking group (yackers). Were the yackers discussing the view? Nope. Here's a one minute sampling that I recorded. (No people appear to protect the guilty!)
