Short Hike in Sabino Canyon

I parked in the overflow lot so I could access my favorite, short loop hike in Sabino Canyon.  An artist was in the early stages of a water color.  

Lots of people out, fueled by great weather and spring breakers.

The ocotillo don't yet have their red blooms but close.

This 2+ mile loop is a favorite because the views are awesome, it doesn't take long to hike it and  my lower joints don't get beat up so I can ride the following day.  In the distance, I see the Phoneline trail about half way up the slope.

I descend from the high point of the route, through a narrow ravine, return to my SUV and head home.
