The Esperero Trail, which begins at the Cactus Picnic Area in Sabino Canyon, is well-known by local hikers. The trail goes through Rattlesnake and Bird canyons before it becomes a series of switchbacks up into Esperero Canyon. If hiked in it entirety, it would end at Cathedral Rock, a distance of 16.5 miles roundtrip, or about 12.5 hours. On this day, however, our plan was to hike about a third of the distance ending a prominent saddle called Cardiac Gap. Click here to see a slideshow of images taken on this hike.
