Description

Blackett's Ridge lies between Sabino and Bear Canyons in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of Tucson. The hike is about 6 miles round-trip and climbs about 1800 feet. There's plenty of nice views along the way, and the trail ends at a great overlook of both canyons and the Catalina Mountains.
