Mica View Trail in Saguaro National Park in Tucson

We took this trip in February. We packed lots of snacks and water and took our lunches. We parked at the trailhead (there are restrooms!)and ate lunch. This was a simple two mile walk, but for some reason it seemed like the sun was just beating down on us! It was a nice quiet walk with cactus all around. Small dips and hills were on the trail, but nothing big. One a scale from 1-10 we would give this 2. It was a little longer and much more isolated than previous walks. We picked up a whistle in town before starting, and I'm carrying that thing in my pack from now on! The boys seemed to like this one particularly well. There were lots of birds and scurrying things around, and this keep their attention. Ah, if only we could hike alone a few times. They seem to switch from loving the walk, to dying, and back, about three times each hike. Total length 2 miles.
