Old Stone House - David Yetman Trail
Where: Tucson, AZ
Trail: David Yetman Trail from the Richard Genser Starr Pass Trail Head to the Old Stone House in Tucson.Mountain Park.
When: January 2, 2010
Weather: Bright and sunny and 70 degrees
Birds of note: Ladder-backed Woodpecker (first sighting)
Trail notes: Walked to the Old Stone House. This abandoned stone house was built in the 1930s by Sherry Bowen who reportedly worked for the Arizona Daily Star.
They must have ridden horses back and forth to this place because it's miles from any type of developed road. The Bowen House was left empty when they moved back east. In 1983, the structure became part of the Tucson Mountain Park. What GLORIOUS views to wake up to every day!

Hi! I came across your blog while searching for a scenic spot to have our vow renewal. So this looks promising, but it sounds like it's quite a trek on foot from nearest place you can park?
ReplyDeleteIt's about three miles out and back from the J.W. Marriott Starr Pass resort. :-)
