| edgetl | Linda Vista "Ladder"!  Date Climbed: Dec 27, 2011 | |
| A great quick climb right in Tucson. The distance of the trail and the elevation isn't anything special but the steepness of it will make you pay. I like this climb because the "ladder" of a trail and the amazing 360 views makes a 5200' mountain worth it. | |

| Been up a couple of times. Its a steep, loose trail. Only about 2600 feet up and the modest summit elevation is just that, but it is a well earned summit. Especially when it gets hot. | |

| Excuse my feeble memory, but I remember parking my car close to a dude ranch overrun with Snowbirds. I started out on a 4WD road, then had to go "cross-country" towards the peak. There were vast tracts of "Shin-daggers" and a few Cholla Pom-Poms; but I saw several Bighorn sheep, which kept my spirits up and kept me going to the summit. Outstanding views! | |

| So pleasantly surprised by this mountain! Right there, in the middle of the suburbs of Tucson, is this rugged desert peak. Just loved this mountain: Cactus gardens, blooming desert wildflowers, Saguaros, dynamite views - all of it. | |
