08/19/2006 Box Camp - Sabino Canyon - Tuscon Arizona
The Hike of Insanity. Sabino Canyon Rangers advised us that the route we had planned was impassable due to rock slides and avalanches from the past weeks flash floods - but that an alternate route was fine. They were wrong. Trails in Sabino Canyon have been obliterated in sections, to the point you stop taking photos for safety. Go Virtual Hike with us as we take you in Box Canyon - and bring you out at Midnight.  (photos by Nunya)

Tucson Arizona

04/29/2006 Spud Rock - Mica Mountain - Tucson Arizona

Perfect lighting captures this hike, as the Sonoran Desert put on one head turning show!

02/25/2006 Sycamore Canyon - Pajarita Mountain Wilderness - Coronado National Forest - Nogales Arizona
The Border Patrol assured us we would not be bothered by illegals sneaking into the U.S., as this canyon is a drug smuggling route (who would also not harm us so that they can continue to run drugs). *why did that not make me feel better?* Virtual Hike with us (11 miles round trip, 1600ft ec) into the mystery and intrigue that is Sycamore Canyon. We'll take you into the cave hideouts, hang you off cliffs, and boulder hop you through the creek bed to where the trail ends at the U.S./Mexican border. (photos by Nunya)

BEHIND THE SCENES ...   Many areas you hike have group size limits , which you need to be aware of.  All groups shown in the Virtual albums may appear to hike together, when in fact they do not.  *sorry, photographer editing illusion*  Groups are broken down into Fast-Medium-and-Slower hikers, with designated regrouping points along the way for safety purposes.  Educate yourself on the rules directly with the US Forest Service and National Park Service.  Don't assume - Get the facts first.
