Walkers turn one of the curves as they make their way up Tumamoc Hill. The 1.5 mile walk is popular early in the mornings, in the evenings and on the weekends. Photo taken: Monday November 10, 2014 Photo by: Mamta Popat / Arizona Daily Star

And a good morning to you, from Tumamoc Hill

Folks who tie their shoelaces before dawn are the type you’ll find walking the paved but steep path up Tumamoc Hill, getting some exercise and enjoying nature before the heat hits and University of Arizona environmental researchers go to work. So popular are these morning sessions that devotees have their own online group (http://bit.ly/1QxEFW5). Look for street parking near West Anklam and North Silverbell roads, two miles west of downtown.
