Cold, crisp and snow covered at the start from the recent storm. We hiked in from Sonoita Hwy three quarters of a mile to the southern start of AZT # 6 Las Colinas. First 8 miles of this section were great with snow cover hills and winter wonderlandesque at times. Trail is in excellent condition so we made good time with the first break about 11 mile mark.

Eventually we made it to Twin Tanks area and start of next AZT section Las Cienegas #7. While #6 has nice rolling hills #7 flattens out and drops down into the desert. Not the most scenic section but the miles are fast on good trail. We managed to quickly knock out the last 10 miles and finish right at sunset. We then retrieved the shuttle car and headed to Tucson for pizza and beer
