Star reporter's guide to 10 fall hikes yours free
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 10.02.2009
We have the perfect companion for you this fall.
"Ten Hikes for Autumn," by the Star's Doug Kreutz, is a free trail guide to 10 lovely places best seen at this time of year.
Try these trails in the days when the heat of summer begins to wane in cactus country — and when mountain forests and river courses take on the colors of fall.
Kreutz, whose hiking stories appear twice a month in Saturday's Out & About, spends practically every weekend trekking trails in the mountains, canyons and deserts of Southern Arizona. Even after hiking and climbing in the Colorado Rockies, Swiss Alps and other exotic locales, he says he finds the home-turf trails around Tucson to be some of the best anywhere.
This pocket-size guide is free at Summit Hut, 5045 E. Speedway and 605 E. Wetmore Road, as well as at Arizona Daily Star offices, 4850 S. Park Ave. and 1640 E. River Road.
