Where's Gibbon Mountain? If you haven't heard of it, there's a reason for that. The trail is nearly non-existent, and not especially friendly. My first several attempts to go there ended up on the wrong peak altogether. But the views are spectacular. You'll look down on Bear Canyon, Blackett's Ridge, Thimble Peak, and the city of Tucson.
The hike is about 6 miles with 1500' of elevation gain, but it plays harder than that. So if you're up for it...
We'll meet at the McDonald's parking lot at 9075 E Tanque Verde Road, on the corner of Catalina Highway, at 7:30. We will then carpool to Gordon Hirabayashi campground, where the hike starts.
