Feb. 27, 2012 - We drove south to Madera Canyon this morning to do a little hiking. Madera Canyon is a popular birding destination about 20 miles south of Tucson that starts at 5,000 feet in elevation and goes up to about 9,500 feet. It was nice to get to a higher elevation to hike among real trees. There is still snow on the peaks of the Santa Rita mountains. We’ll be returning to this area to spend a week hiking the trails in this national forest. Today, we were just checking out the many hiking possibilities. We also found a nice RV park nearby where we can stay when we come back.
Today, we will be moving our RV a few miles north to Gilbert Ray campground in Tucson Mountain Park. We will not have internet service at this site. I’ll be back in touch by the weekend when we get settled in the RV park near Madera Canyon.
