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 SG on 3/29/2009 As the person below said..this is NOT nor should it be rated as an "easy" hike. We use 6 categories to describe our hikes and easy is on a level surface with a relatively short range. This hike is rated between intermediate and advanced intermediate and is much like Blacketts Ridge only shorter. It's also 1.42 miles and 673 feet in elevation to the end of the pavement. We do this hike every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6:00pm all year long www.xhikingclub.com
Reviewed by Penn on 3/26/2009 First of all, this is NOT an "easy" hike. It is short and paved, but it is a serious workout, very steep and a challenge to people with heart and lung difficulties! There are wonderful views of the city and mountains, especially at sunset. There will be lots of people walking (and running) with you. If you're lucky you may see some deer or other wildlife too! And the Laboratory buildings are very interesting. 
Reviewed by Daniel on 3/18/2009 It is my favorite hike mostly because its so close to the city. ive seen deer and javalinas i dont recommend a child to walk this trail but a stroller is perfect Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
