Who could resist hiking a trail through such a magical-sounding place? Not carryoncouple, that’s for sure. With a name like Enchanted Hills, one might hope to find a fairy-tale castle, complete with rainbows and unicorns. Well, no such luck, but we did enjoy a sweeping view from atop Enchanted Peak.
This was another hike in Tucson Mountain Park, just a short drive from our RV park. It’s a wonderful resource for day hikers like us. Covering 20,000 acres, the park boasts 62 miles of non-motorized shared-use trails. The trails are well signposted and interconnected, allowing for a “create your own experience.” We occasionally ran into other hikers and mountain bikers, but for the most part, we had these trails to ourselves.
The last 25 or 30 yards were a scramble, something I conquered on all fours. We both eventually made it to the top and it wasn’t really that bad of a climb…provided one didn’t look down too much. From the peak, an information board pinpointed all the distant peaks beyond the city of Tucson, and a selection of rocks provided us with view seats for our picnic lunch.
