    Tips

    January 16, 2025

    Blackett’s Ridge Trail is a popular hike that leads to the 4,341-foot summit of Saddleback. Spanning 5.5 miles with over 1,900 feet of elevation gain, the trail rewards hikers with views of Thimble Peak, the Santa Catalina Mountains, and, on clear days, the Santa Rita and Tucson Mountains. To the south, the city of Tucson stretches out below. Open year-round, the trail requires an $8 fee to enter the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, and dogs are not allowed on trail. With no reliable water sources, hikers should bring plenty of water.
      Steep access by a very well maintained trail with no technical difficulty. The views are really breathtaking.
