Description

Wasson Peak is the tallest in the Tucson Mountains, which lie to the west of Tucson, although at 4687 feet elevation, it's not nearly as high as the tallest peaks in the other ranges around Tucson. We went via the King's Canyon trail and came back via the Hugh Norris trail, for a total distance of around 7 miles. It had rained a lot in the weeks before the hike, so everything was very green!

Photos

NOTE: I'll eventually post a big panorama taken at the summit, as soon as I get around to making it from the individual images.
