Hello fellow hiking enthusiasts,

 
As we are beyond the halfway point of this year's Summer Hiking Series and as the always favorite, hike out of Marshall Gulch ended up being cancelled, next month seems like the perfect time to complete this moderate trek, that appeals to so many.  For this trip, we will be reversing directions and beginning on Lower Aspen, taking a break at the Saddle and descending back to the starting point on the Marshall Gulch trail.  Total distance is 4.1 miles with less than 900 feet of vertical gain and will take around 2.5 hours to complete.  
 
Meet and departure will be from LeBuzz, located on Catalina Highway and Tanque Verde with a meet time of 6:30AM, departure at 6:45AM and anticipated hike start at 8AM.  Upon completion of this beautiful stroll through the forest, conversation and tasty treats will be follow at Beyond Bread, located at the Mount Lemmon Lodge.
 
See you on the trails!
