Pima Canyon Trail

Yesterday in between rain storms we decided to take advantage of the cool weather and hike a small bit.  
We decided to go to the Pima Canyon Trail to see the amazing rainbow that nature was showing us and to see the city view.
About the trail itself.  There are two trail heads, the one we took is the Magee Rd entrance also called the Iris O. Dewhirst Pima Canyon Trail head.  you take Magee rd east till it ends to get to this entrance.  
The trail is near homes so you must stay on the designated path ways and there are no dogs permitted.






We didn't do the whole trail because we were worried that another storm was going to come, it is monsoon season, and we were near a mountain that gets hit hard but the part of the trail we did walk was not to rigorous.  There were a lot of rocky areas but my kids could do it so I say that this is an easy trail for a nice hike.  Please note that we had rain and cloud cover but in normal Tucson sun style you should bring lots of water and wear sunscreen because there is not a lot of shade.
