Please continue to show up at all of your posted (and even e-hikes) hikes at the same meeting place and time as previously announced, to avoid any confusion and to arrange any alternative plans for your hikes.  This is a courtesy to anyone who doesn't use the website, doesn't call the guide, and still show up!  This has always and still will be our SAHC policy.

Thanks to all during these gloomy hiking days!

Susan Dick (your chief guide)

Trail Information—All trails are open in the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area and nearby
