Best Guided HikesMount Lemmon Volunteer Interpreters
STAFF PICK: In addition to the monsoons and the reduced
city traffic, one of the greatest blessings those of us who stick
around during the summer have to look forward to is the Mount
Lemmon Volunteer Interpreters program. All summer long, these
U.S. Forest Service volunteers lead free guided hikes in the Catalina
Mountains. In addition to endless hours on the trail, these knowledgeable
docents have spent more than 56 hours in the classroom, learning
all about the area's geology and botany. There are about seven
different hikes, each four to six miles, and they rotate every
Friday. And if you can't wait until next year, most of these folks
work as Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists in the winter. They're
one of the area's greatest naturalist resources.
