Hiking Fellowship
HIKING FELLOWSHIP:
The Rotary Club of Tucson has a Hiking Fellowship. Hikes average about once a month and are of various lengths and difficulty. Bruce Richardson Bruce.Richardson@trulynolen.com coordinates the hikes for the Club. If you are interested in hiking just email Bruce so, he can add you to the list. Members are also encouraged that if they have some favorite hikes that they would like to lead to just email Bruce so he can coordinate the schedule and let membership know.
The votes have been tallied and the updated hiking schedule for 2024 is attached! More details regarding projected weather conditions will be sent as we get closer to the actual date of hike.
Upcoming Hike:
This is the official advisement of the final scheduled hike for the calendar year 2024 and we have a great one lined up in the Tucson Montains! Please join me on Saturday, 12/7/24 for a morning on the Brown Mountain Loop, departing from the Brown Mountain Picnic Area next door to the Desert Museum. This is a great little loop hike that takes you on the ridge overlooking the Sonoran Desert Museum, Gilbert Ray campground and offers great views of the backside of the Tucson Mountains. This is a moderate hike covering 4.2 miles and 688 vertical feet with hike times projected at 3 hours from beginning to end.
We will meet at the Brown Mountain Picinic area beginning at 7:45AM for an 8AM departure. This access allows for sufficient parking so we will just meet there and no carpool necessary. I will check in as we get closer with updates on anticipated conditions and any time changes that might occur.
See you on the trails!

One of the most popular hiking trails at Tucson Mountain Park takes you across Brown Mountain, offering stretches of cactus-lined paths. The trail covers a variety of terrain and elevation, ensuring that you will be thoroughly entertained throughout your hike. This is a fantastic trail to witness the saguaros in bloom. Additionally, the trail connects with the highly-rated Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
