Description

Safford Peak as it is officially known (Sombrero Peak to us Tucson locals) is that distinctive bell-shaped peak in the northern-most district of the Tucson Mountains in Saguaro West National Park. No doubt you've seen it when passing through northern Tucson. I see it everyday because I live right beneath it and I always consider myself lucky as I look at it driving home. As it turns out, it is also an absolute blast to climb. There is no official trail here but there is pretty much something to follow the whole way. Nonetheless decent route finding skills will come in handy. There are multiple ways to get to the trail that actually begins the ascent to the peak. I will describe from a quiet little chapel called Sanctuary Cove as this is the easiest to find. There are numerous miles of foot trails and horse trails in the basin surrounding the peak, and you could add any distance you want to get to the trail that starts the climb.
