Advice on routes from Sabino Canyon to summit mount Lemmon
Hey y’all, my sister and I will be in town for a week visiting our parents over Christmas and wanted to do a big hike and summit mount Lemmon from Sabino Canyon. Does anyone have any routes they prefer? We would start out on Romero Canyon Trail #8 -> Mount Lemmon trail #5 -> Wilderness Rock Trail #44 -> Lemon Rock Lookout Trail #12 -> Summit.
Would it be worth taking these other trails or just stay on Mount Lemmon trail #5 for longer and then hit the summit that way? We are getting picked up at the top so won’t be heading back down the way we came.
Any info is appreciated! We know this is a big hike and we are both fit and in our early thirties. We will be prepared with enough water for the whole day and get a very early start to our day. Thanks in advance! 🙏
