This route leads directly from the banks of the Rhone on the plain to the summit of the Grande Dent de Morcles, from 417m to 2968m in just 11.2km, which is unique. It passes through forests and pastures, leading to a long, technically challenging section of stony, lunar rock: magical, mystical and dangerous. At the summit, breathtaking 360° views of some of the Alps' most iconic peaks (Mont Blanc and its massif, Grand Combin, Dents du Midi, Dent Blanche, Eiger, Matterhorn...).

Gothenburg to Oslo along the state highway and forest paths

Safford Peak, at 3563 feet, is a prominent peak in the Tucson Mountains. It is also known to many locals as "Sombrero Peak" because of its distinct shape, which can be recognized from many miles away as one looks toward northwest Tucson. While this out-and-back route is short at 3.6 miles, it is steep and the terrain is demanding. Starting at the Scenic Drive Trailhead, take the Scenic Trail for approximately half a mile until you turn right onto the Safford Peak Trail. After this turn, the trail becomes steeper and more rocky, with many loose rocks and grades approaching up to 39%.
