Camp Lowell Drive and is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $9 for adults; $6 for kids ages 4-17 and free for kids ages 3 and under.
Go for a hike
Hikers on the Pima Canyon Trail.
With weather like this, it would be a crime NOT to go outside. Even if it's a walk through your neighborhood.
We like hiking. And there are lots of places to go here.
The Pima Canyon Trail is a good one to take the family on. Well, for about three miles. After that it gets a little harder. You'll see desert vegetation and maybe flowing water.
To get there from West Ina and North Oracle roads, go east on Ina to Christie Drive. Take that north to Magee and turn east. You'll come to a parking lot at the trail head.
