Summary: This is a great hike up a well paved hill with fantastic city views. Since this hike is on university property it is one of the only hikes in the Tucson Mountain Range that permits night hiking, making this the perfect hike for sunrise/sunset watching. Tumamoc Hill is a research station that has been studied since 1906. Travel is permitted all the way to the top but on pavement only. With continued respect this route should remain open to the public! Trailhead: From I-10 and Speedway dirve 1 mile west on Speedway to Silverbell. Turn south (left) on Silverbell and drive 0.2 miles to West Anklam Rd. Turn west (right) on West Anklam and the trailhead is on your left. Park in or near the St. Mary's Hostpital parking lot as there is no parking at the trailhead.

Reviewed by Ben on 5/12/2013 Just completed Tumamoc and loved every minute. The burning in my claves and getting my heart rate up made for an excellent workout. I would recommend this hike to anyone. 
Reviewed by CC on 2/7/2013 Too many people and watch out of snakes! 
Reviewed by Jesse on 1/19/2013 Frequently run this trail. From the road it's 1.3 miles up. It's paved asphalt the whole way and is always PACKED. Also, there are many inconsiderate people who play their music out loud rather than on headphones. Avoid this if you're an experienced hiker, reserve this for a GREAT running workout. It does however, have the best views of downtown Tucson of any Tucson peak. 
Reviewed by AG on 12/30/2012 Good hike. Great for calves, but does not allow dogs :(
Reviewed by Brian on 10/19/2012 while visiting ny son at UFA I become aware of this trail. Every visit I take the time to run this hill. I run and walk stairs at home, sometimes with weights and find this taril to be a great running workout,
Reviewed by Ben on 8/24/2012 I definitely wouldn't say this is an easy hike. It's quite challenging but not impossible. It becomes easier with time. A great workout, great views, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge.
Reviewed by AA on 7/4/2012 I took on this hill a month and a half ago. I walk half way and run half way to the top and then run down the whole way. It isn't an easy hill but is well worth it and gets easier every week.
Reviewed by VP on 7/1/2012 This hike was tough, but I did it and will tackle it again. The view is gorgeous, and today had a rainbow! Don't leave belongings in your car. My car was locked and alarmed - window was smashed and wallet, phone, etc were stolen. :( Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
