Tumamoc Hill

I’m finally hiking up Tumamoc Hill.  It’s a great hike with great views and definitely gets the heart rate up.  It’s also very popular so you meet lots of interesting people.  The link below describes it much better than I can.

Tumamoc Hill

This is one of 2 outhouses. Which is important to me when I hike.

The view to the west, across Sentinel Peak below, the city, and the Rincon Range in the distance.

Karen PoretTo Scott AndersonI was trying to be “funny”, but, as one can only read words and not necessarily understand the comment meaning. This is in regard of your sight issues, and the blurry vision similarity. I hope this “clears it up”. :)

Scott AndersonTo Karen PoretSo was ‘eye’. No one ever seems to get my terrific sense of humor. I don’t get it.

Bill ShaneyfeltAmazing creatures! I cared for one for 2 years as a student worker at ASU in the Biology building. The display area where it was has long since been removed, but lots of other glass cases have many different species of rattlesnakes along the halls.

Bill ShaneyfeltI have only seen one in the wild, and it was when I was in high school in 1963 working field research with Dr. Eric Pianka when he was working on his PHD. Was somewhere southwest of Casa Grande at night right after a monsoon storm.

The northeast corner of Tucson’s desert box, where rough, unpaved Remington Road climbs through the gap and eventually comes out the other side in the San Miguel Vwlley.
