Easy, undulating trail, through some really pretty environs. There is a definite shift upon reaching the halfway point (which I believe is a saddle) and starting your descent into the valley. Great juniper pines (esp the ancient one mentioned in the description), pine cones, and trail cover greet you.

Slight disappointments for me were few wildflowers (we must have been too high [ETA: see below comment - wrong time of year]) and views of the Sups. This was my first time there and I had really wanted to see more of them, since the glimpses I had on the drive in and out were breathtaking. I definitely want to come back to backpack or even car camp to give myself more time to explore the area.

We took our time enjoying ourselves, so it ended up being an almost full day excursion, but it is an easy day hike for those living in the Tucson area.
