New Years in Tucson

We drove to Tucson for New Years 2021. We stayed in an Airbnb outside Saguaro National Park on the east side of Tucson. Since we had a couple of Ultramarathons planned for the Winter and Spring, we need to get in some warm mountain miles.

We spent the first day running trails in Saguaro National park.

Running along the Tanque Verde ridge trail.

Staci ascending the final steep section of Tanque Verde Peak.

The top of Tanque Verde with Tucson in the distance.

Hiking from Sabino Canyon.

Scrambling on Rocks above Sabino Canyon

Lots of Teddy-bear Cholla

On the last day we ran the Arizona Trail from the Davidson Canyon Trailhead to near Sabino Canyon and back (about 20 miles).

Staci running through a section that looked like a Botanical Garden.
