Thank you all for your responses.... I got some hikin' to do!

So I'm moving to Tucson later this month and would like to get suggestions from Tucson hiking locals. I would like to know what the quick fitness type peaks are close to town, similar to Piestewa and Camelback. Also what are some of your favorite longer hikes in the Catalinas and surrounding mountai...

I so wish I could go on this trip.....

I will be coming from Central Phoenix and would prefer to carpool with someone. Anyone up for carpooling? We could meet up somewhere along the US60.

I am putting myself as "interested" I hope I can make it. I will let you know as the date gets closer.

Happy Birthday Joe and thank you so much for this awesome site!

I will definitely be in town and most likely hiking on the weekend of 26 or 27th... maybe a hike in the Superstitions?

Wow... this sounds like a great trip. I am going to watch my schedule I would love to make this.

The more I read the more it sounds like an awesome time... rain trumps dust anyway you look at it. Unfortunately I have more to do this weekend than I though so forget my original inquiry. I am looking forward to meeting others from this site especially for some short weekend backpack trips like thi...

will you be leaving from Phoenix with a possibility of carpooling?

Great advice from all.. I do hope to see some wildlife other than a rattlesnake. Is that possible to car pool to the Grand Canyon for this full moon hike? I am leaving tomorrow afternoon and staying in Flag with family Friday night otherwise I would gladly carpool. I do have a friend driving up on S...

Some friends of mine and I did this hike last year and while it is a test of sleep depravation its also a way to see the canyon in a different light. Just the fact that it is a canyon, there are several places on the trail that do get dark but you wouldn't believe what you can see once you let your ...

Meet up at Grand Canyon Back Country office at 4pm. Grab a quick dinner at Maswick then shuttle over to South Kaibab TH. Hike down to boat beach, hang out for a bit, soak up the moonlight, then head up Bright Angel trail, greeting sunrise near the top.

Maybe I will see you on the trail...I am doing first water to canyon lake TH (group car shuttle, dropping off car at lake TH first) on saturday. I would love to meet some people from this site.

Wow I was hiking the Supes yesterday and saw the helicopter in the distance...not the first time I've seen MCSO out there so thought nothing of it.

I am putting myself as interested as I have plenty of time to work out the details. This sounds like an awesome trip not to be missed.
