This is a good Summer hike, leave the heat of the desert and to the coolness of Mount Lemmon. Beautiful scenery and in late spring the flowers are everywhere. Raspberries and strawberries and what I believe are Elder Berries are plentiful in their season. The Butterfly Trail is in in good condition as with the Crystal Spring Trail. The Crystal Spring Trail is a bit overgrown in places though. Water is not an issue on this hike but Rattlesnakes are. Heard 3 along the trail but only saw 1, a bit unnerving. Recommend walking stick to probe the path in some areas.
