Wifey hadn’t been to Hutch’s pool and we decided to fix that while the weather was relatively cool. We took the tram to the last stop and hiked from there. Being a Saturday the tram was full and so was Hutch.

We did manage to find a quiet spot for lunch and a little hammock hang time.

The pool was relatively full despite the creek being pretty low. Lots of pools but little to no flow below Hutch.

Spring wildflowers were fairly meh, though there were more than expected considering the dry winter.

The tram was full on the return trip, and we were at first worried we might have to walk back to the visitor center, but somehow everyone managed to get on.

Working on the middle section of AZT11 between Sabino Canyon and Romero Pass, finally got it done. Started from the bottom of Sabino Canyon and took the road in, then headed up the trail to the AZT. The road was full of walkers and the trail was also pretty busy for 8am.

got to the AZT and headed up to where I left off 5 weeks ago when I hiked down from Romero Pass. I have a couple more fill in hikes to go to finish off 11 up on the north end, and the dreaded drive up the Catalina Highway.

the rain from the night before had pretty cool temps in the morning and low hanging clouds on the top of Mt. Lemmon. As I ascended the wind picked up a bit and the temperature dropped a bit. I had lunch at my turnaround spot and was surprised that by the time I was done I was getting kind of chilly.

I was contemplating hiking the road back down since it's downhill and asphalt is easier to hike on, but by the time I got to the road I had hiked 18 miles and was tired. I also easily saved an hour of time taking the crawler. I had this hiked planned a few weeks in advance, but the timing with the weather front from the night before worked out very nicely. It was also very interesting taking the shuttle back seeing all the out of state tourists taking in once in a lifetime sights for a place I've been to many times and is just a long drive and a long dayhike for me. Grateful to live in AZ.

Wifey wanted to do Phoneline on a Saturday in “winter” which meant Sabino was a zoo and there was no parking except at the overflow. So we cut over to Phoneline Link and headed into the canyon, missing the first bit of Phoneline trail.

Passed one of my clients, which was fun.

Wifey’s bum foot was being a bum so we took the tram back. The driver kindly let us off at the connector for the overflow lot.

I’ll call this one the Trans-Catalina or the Tucson R2R. Similar stats. Weather was beautiful. Hutch’s pool was cooler than expected. Romero pools were a little less exciting than when we visited last year.

Would like to do it again when there is more water flowing.

We dropped a car at Catalina and then drove down to Sabino for the start. Saw a couple of road walkers and a biker over the short section of road before taking the Phoneline connector.

Passed 2 other people on the Phoneline then didn’t see another soul until Romero pools.

The trail was easy to follow throughout. Only one spot on the Romero side where we had to backtrack slightly to see that the trail took a high route up from a campsite near a seasonal waterfall (which has prompted folks to tramp out a defined path to its base that looks a lot like the official trail).

Speaking of campsites, lots of great spots along the trail. I marked several on my route.

Overall, a great way to experience the Catalinas.

perfect day for one of my favorite Tucson hikes. Bone dry out there, otherwise just beautiful. Bear Canyon is a little overgrown here and there above the falls but nothing serious - just brushy.

my folks dropped me off at 7 and i got to it. cold, clear and hardly a breeze made for really ideal weather for a hike across the catalinas. Pretty dry out there at the moment but there was water at Hutch's Pool and a couple spots along the way.

West Fork is a bit brushy with a couple trees down but not too bad. Upper Romero is a bit rough after the fire, but there are parts that are still very nice, including the camping spots. Saw some deer and very very few people. strangely had romero pools to myself on a saturday afternoon.

made good time. felt good

Matt gave me several big options, and this one looked the likely to kill me. Parked at the Sabino Visitor Center at 0600 and made our way over to the Phoneline Trail. Easy uphill on that one, mostly in the shade. Continued up Sabino.

Once we arrived at the intersection with West Fork and East Fork, the fun began. We turned left onto West Fork, and immediately had to cross the water. The shallowest point we could find was about knee level. Oh well, I guess dry feet won’t be happening on this hike. Got across the water, but spent the next five miles continually crossing water. The largest crossing was thigh deep for me, and was a matter of gripping every tree possible to get across. The water felt good though, because it was warming up.

Had lunch at the junction with Cathedral Rock Trail. Prime rib makes for an excellent hiking lunch. I think we passed five AZT backpackers thru this section, including the human version of Ned Flanders, which provided some comic relief.

A slog up Cathedral Rock trail, but the views made up for it. Some recent trail work. Small amount of snow on the upper reaches. Once over the saddle, it was a long descent. Tons of water in Esperero, but all were crossable (barely) by rock hopping. Seemed like the descent took forever, but was easy. Finished up around 1815, making for a full day of hiking. Great loop, lots of fun, thank you Matt for the invitation!

This was another one of those insane hikes that Linda lures me into. This time, she told me that there was a "Beef Lovers BBQ" happening at the campsites where the West Fork & Cathedral trails intersect. As you may well have guessed, I fell for it and there was no BBQ when we arrived there. Well, now that we'd come this far, I wasn't going to turn back. We had covered a lot of ground and maybe as much water to get here. The scenery heading up the West Fork is top notch at all times, and in all directions. With the recent rains/snow, the water crossings were as high as could be crossed by most, and kept our feet wet for a solid 5 miles to the Cathedral campsites.

With unhappy feet and disappointed with the whole BBQ ruse thing, I dug out the single, stale, half crumbled saltine cracker that I had been saving for such an occasion and ate that. Meanwhile Linda adoringly dined on a slab prime rib while we rested before the remainder of our adventure.

The beginning of the end came all too quickly, and too did the heat of the day as we dawned our still mushy, wet footwear and started up the Cathedral Trail. Had it not been for a single trail runner arriving at just the right moment, Linda was about to toss me into the canyon for sniveling too much. Eventually, we got over the saddle and were on the homerun - shade, waterfalls, streams, a breeze and above all, elevation loss. Somehow, that didn't seem to deaden the misery of mushy footwear though, and I made that fact know the rest of the trip - just ask Linda.

Anyway, We got out of there alive and saw some pretty cool things along the way. Thanks Linda for driving all the way down for this one. It was one to remember, even if there was again no BBQ.

Ideal day for this loop. Beautiful weather and tons of water everywhere. Even some snow on the East Fork Trail. I wasn't pushing the pace too much, and it wasn't the day for it with all the water in the crossings. Could see or hear water a lot of way currently, which is a real treat. managed to keep my feet dry until sabino road - several of the bridges were run over with water. Nothing to do there but plow on through

Bear Canyon: Trail is in fine shape to seven falls. Currently there is a lot of water in all of the crossings though i was able to make them all keeping my feet dry - though it took some work. Beyond the falls, the trail sees much less traffic. It isn't overgrown per se, but there is a lot of growth along the sides of the trail. Some it is catclaw-like and I was bleeding from a few spots by the end. The route is still easy to follow. The only tricky part is after the last creek crossing before climbing up the thimble flat - that is always a little tricky to find if you don't know where it is (quickly to the left and up the rocky incline). Up at the top about a mile before the Bear saddle there was some ice and mud hanging on. Someone came through on horses recently and tore up the muddy part of the trail a little bit. The upper parts of the trail have seen some erosion from all the rain the last year

East Fork: Never any route fining issues here. Bunch of hard pack snow on the trail but it wasn't very slippery. Again, torn up in the muddy spots from horses a little. Otherwise glorious as always. Little bit overgrown between palisade and box canyon but easy to follow still.

Sabino 23: No issues really. Pretty wide open.

This was my first time backpacking in the Catalinas and I will definitely be back. The weather was perfect, the views were vast and the trails were in great shape.

Starting at the main Sabino Canyon parking area, we made our way up to the entrance of Bear Canyon using a combination of the paved road and the actual trail. We passed a few groups along the way to Seven Falls but I would not say that it was busy at all. The falls were running and were well worth the short detour down from the main trail. After the falls the trail began to switchback up the side of the canyon and we really started to gain elevation. There is a great spot to stop for lunch when the trail crosses Bear Creek. From here it is a long climb up and out of the canyon. Once we joined up with the AZT we followed it through East Sabino Canyon, into West Fork and eventually Hutch's Pool. We camped here for the night and my thermodrop recorded a low of 34. I was awoken by rain in the middle of the night, which was puzzling given the totally clear forecast that we had beforehand. When I got up the next morning I discovered that we had actually gotten a little bit of sleet instead of rain.

The hike back down to town was relatively straightforward. We retraced our steps on the AZT before turning right onto the Sabino Canyon trail and eventually the Powerline trail. There was a lot more foot traffic on both of these trails compared to Bear Canyon the day before. I really loved how the Powerline trail stayed very high along the canyon wall. It was a great point of view compared to hiking along the paved road on the canyon floor.

got hot at the end otherwise nice morning

Evening bike ride up Sabino Canyon to the top. Water was still flowing in the canyon but it seems to be slowing down. Heard the usual great horned owls

hooting away at the end of the road and conversed with one of the regulars I’ve seen many times. Locked up my bike and then hiked up the switchbacks to the first saddle for a good view of the canyon in both directions. The ride back down was chilly with the approaching storm. It always surprises me how many people walk Sabino road in the darkness that high up in the canyon.

The last time I hiked Sabino Canyon trail #23 I could hear the sound of rushing water down below and developed an insatiable need to explore this nearly invisible part of Sabino Canyon. After reading a few tidbits on this site and others (including the 2010 triplog from @Vaporman) I decided to, quite literally, take the plunge.

After sourcing some gear (waterproof dry pack and wetsuit) it became apparent that my only opportunity to do this trip was going to be Feb 28 or wait several weeks. Although the weather wasn't ideal (forecast in the 50s and very windy) I decided that I could always bail out if things got ugly.

Took the 9am tram to the last stop and powered through the 2.6mi to the intersection with the East Fork. Turned left and proceeded down the stream until I hit the first pool that would require wading. There was a nice clean slab of granite here so this was the perfect spot for a snack and to change into my wetsuit. After making sure that my $20 Amazon special dry backpack appeared to be air tight I sent a quick InReach note to my wife to wish me luck and set off.

Plotted a course through the center of the pool in front of me and proceeded down the East Fork. From here to the confluence with the West Fork I traversed a series of narrow pools with small falls on the outlets. Depth ranged from a few feet to a couple of spots where I couldn't easily find the bottom. This was primarily a swimming excursion at this point and it was an absolute blast.

The water was COLD . I took temperature measurements in a few different spots and depending on depth and sun exposure it was between 48 and 51 degrees. Fortunately, the 3/2 wetsuit I bought worked out perfectly and I never felt chilled in the water.

The confluence was a bit of a let down as I had expected something interesting to happen here, but it was nothing more than two streams coming together. Looking up the West Fork I saw what appeared to be a similar set of pools to what I had just traversed.

From the confluence to the narrows the stream bed opened up and I was mostly wading through small knee-deep sections and a lot of slippery rocks. Stream flow slowed enough in this area that there were several spots that were more like a marsh than a stream.

As I approached the narrows the stream tightened up and the terrain became more technical with larger boulders and deeper pools. There is a large pool in the center of the narrows which I've seen referred to as Miner's Pool. This is a very deep pool at the entry which makes for some fun jumping in off of the boulder choking the gap. There's even a very dodgy rope on the stream left side which may or may not be safe to pull yourself back up for another jump. If it weren't for the wind and its cooling effect on my wetsuit I would have spent some more time here.

Below the narrows things got quite a bit more technical and really started pushing the limits of my skills. In this stretch house and car-sized boulders create a series of stepped pools. Unfortunately in several places the drop from the upper pool to the lower one is significant and the pool below isn't nearly deep enough to support a jump.

In three spots I had a lot of trouble finding a route. In one of those I successfully navigated a safe path. In another I found a safe path, but slipped when trying to execute which made for a much less controlled descent than I would have liked. The third one was the one that really scared me and if it weren't for the lucky deposit of a piece of driftwood I'm not sure I would have made it through. I ended up finding a path by hiking up the side of the canyon to bypass the boulders which was reasonably easy, but through a forest of thorny plants. Once into the lower pool I realized that one of the more direct routes which I had initially dismissed would have been reasonably easy to execute. Hindsight is always 20/20...

Once out of the technical section is was a wading a rock-hopping exercise to pickup the trail that leads back up to the road. Once I had gotten to the exit point and changed out of my wetsuit I only had a few minutes to catch the tram. I started up the trail and could hear the tram approaching. Not certain that I would make it I jumped off the trail into the adjacent drainage and started boulder hopping up the side of the hill. Popped up at the guardrail, startled a number of people, and took a seat on the waiting tram.

This was, without a doubt, the most fun I've had in a long time. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have done this excursion alone, but with the exception of the technical spots toward the end it was all very manageable for someone with no prior experience.

i didn't get to run this with TTR for the anniversary year because i had to work. one of my local favorites. there was actually water all along bear canyon which was awesome to see. biffed about 6 miles in and took a healthy chunk out of my hand. it was a picture perfect day. historically i have always done the longer version of this, taking all trails.

Nice run out to Sabino basin. Took the road out to Sabino 23 and took that to the east/west fork junction. Came back on full length of phoneline. Cut over on bluffs trail and back on lower esperero to add a little distance.

Glorious morning after a night of rain. There was some water running in the upper parts of Sabino 23.

Be ready to literally dedicate the entire day to this 1. Woke 530 am, home 10 pm. I drove up from n phx. Completely worth it.

Once u get past 7 falls, u will find solitude. To your left u will be able to see the trails u just came from. When u get even further out, u will b surrounded by beauty.

The landscape will change and u will pass multiple junctions. All of which provide ample info. Great escape.

took advantage of lower than usual temps to squeeze this loop in one more time before the infero sets in. ran it clockwise for the first time and this way felt tougher to me. did a side trip out to Hutch's Pool for the first time in years...still gorgeous!

saw a nice big LOUD rattler on the way back from the pool. i think it was a mojave

got hot towards the end. the falls were jammin, but that is to be expected on a gimme weather day like today.

didn't feel too good today but had a lovely trip nonetheless
