The mountain is still a bit charred but is recovering nicely. The trail goes from dense to open which gives a nice variety of scenery. Make sure to go off the trailhead to catch some great views of the mountains. At the Box Springs Trailhead head left off the trail, up the hill to catch an awesome view of Thimble Peak, Tucson Valley, and the Rincon Mountains. Make sure to wear long pants and a good pair of hiking shoes/boots for traction for the pine needles can be a bit slippery when veering off the trail. Rabbits, Squirrels, Butterflies, and Woodpeckers were most of what I encountered on my journey. |
