This is a beautiful area, even more so if the streams are running.

Named for Tom Jeffords, the famous Indian Scout and friend of Cochise, this peak provides broad views of the entire area between the town of Catalina on the Oracle Road, and the Ritz-Carlton. The hike route at first follows an old road, then goes cross-country over the rolling grass and shrub-covered hills, eventually reaching the top of the peak. It is not a difficult hike. Slopes are gentle and brush is minimal, although long pants are recommended. The Trailhead is Crow Windmill, which is located 5.4 miles west of Catalina, on a dirt road (Edwin Road) which follows the Pima/Pinal County Line. Contact Hike Leader for a map. High-clearance vehicles are recommended. Legally, each hiker is required to have an Arizona State Trust Lands permit, which costs $15 and is good on all Arizona State Lands for a year.

We hike through the desert with one steep and rocky incline and descent that is more comfortable with hiking poles. You have a good chance of seeing wildlife, javelina, deer and coyote. A really great view of the Highlands from the top. This is a great hike for new hikers or new members to club.

This is a great hiking loop in the Golder Ranch area- nice trails and rocks, super desert plants, and vistas. We’ll hike the MidTank trail to tank #1, then proceed to the Baby Jesus trail.

This is a favorite! We’ve again made arrangements to hike Canyon View Trail which is a short but rewarding private trail in Canyon Pass. From the trailhead, this picturesque trail climbs up a few switchbacks on a moderately steep but rocky trail (we will be climbing approx… 900’ in about a mile). We then wind around a ridge to the highest point where you will see wonderful views of much of Dove Mountain including the Canyon Pass Community and Wild Burro Canyon. We’ll have a quick snack before heading north and then wind back down on a trail that may have some difficult footing because of loose rocks. Bring water, a snack and your camera as there will be many worthwhile photo ops. GREAT local hike and you’ll be home before lunch!

Hike Leader: Jackie Craig jackiehc@yahoo.com Depart 6:00 Est time of Return 5:30
There is a way to drive almost the entire way to Carr Peak but it is a scary road, plus why would hikers want to do that? Instead, we will leave home at the crack of dawn to hike via beautiful Ramsey Canyon from the Nature Conservancy Trailhead. Normally they charge a $6 fee but they may still be closed for COVID. Just before the old mining village of Hamburg, we will divert from the Hamburg Trail onto the Comfort Springs Trail and eventually after a big climb, pass by the campground full of brave RV drivers who made it up that road. From there we take the Carr Peak and Carr Peak Spur Trail to the Peak at 9220 ft. Much the trail crosses peaks burned in the 1977 fire. Eventually it reaches an eastern trending ridge where grassy savannah is important summer range for the white tailed deer. The trail continues upward, and ultimately reaches dense brakes of young aspen. The bald summit offers sweeping views of the tawny basins and hazy ranges in all directions: Patagonias, and Tumacacoris to the west, Santa Ritas and Whetstones to the north and Dragoons and Chiricahuas to the east. After lunch on the peak, we will continue on the loop and descend into Ramsey Canyon again via the Hamburg Trail. Carpool with masks. $12 carpool fee (206 miles )
