Tucson [?]

Description

The Tucson [?] links the mountains around Tucson into one question mark shaped track. Questioners traverse the Tucson Mountains, Tortolitas, Catalinas, Rincons and Santa Ritas. Staying between 2100’ and 6250’ this route is perfect late fall to early spring. At almost 200 miles with nearly 30k feet of gain this route is perfect for a speed attempt but also makes a nice week outing. Questioners are almost never more than 1.5 hours from Tucson which simplifies shuttles and enables other runners to join for part of the journey.
