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 MES on 3/16/2010 I changed my eating habits and started working out, lost 14lbs in 10 days! Then the weight loss slowed down and I wasn't getting enough tone. One climb up Tumamoc Hill and I'm addicted! I'm starting to go twice a week now. Once you make up your mind to get to the top, you just can't stop!!! When you're on the treadmill it's easy to get off and be done, not so much on the Hill. When I'm having trouble and need to stop I just turn and look back at where I've already been then it's easier to keep going!!!
Reviewed by AZ on 2/14/2010 I hike this hill at least 3 times a week, always nice people of all ages. Great workout and stress reliever. What a lovely sunset you can catch at the top, so rewarding!
