    Tips

    January 10, 2020

    Take the Hugh Norris Trail towards Wasson Peak, the high point for the west side of the park, at 4,687 feet. You can also take the Sendero Esperanza Trail to the Ridge/ To Wasson Peak (3.4-8 miles, 220-1600 feet elevation), or starting a loop on Sendero-Esperanza trail to the Hugh Norris trail junction on the ridgeline. The first mile is relatively flat, but quickly ascends up switch backs (220 feet elevation) towards the ridge. Great panoramic scenes of the valley come into view. I Continue for 1.9 miles and take the spur trial on the left .3 miles to Wasson Peak.

      Great views while walking toward Wasson Peak on the Hugh Norris Trail. Plenty of signs to guide your way and lots of vegetation to look at, including Saguaro cactuses, prickly pear, flowers, and shrubbery.

        Take in views of the surrounding young and old cacti and other desert vegetation.
