Thimble Flat
We gathered early one November morning,
now we were going to turn words into action
by hiking six miles to climb Thimble Peak.
Starting at the Gordon Hirabayashi Campground,
we hiked the Sycamore Canyon trail to the
Bear Canyon trail, then leaving the trail at a flat
grassy meadow called Thimble Flat to traverse
around a deep gulley, making our way through rocks
and brush to the base of Thimble Peak, where we paused
to determine the best way to climb this pinnacle on a
mountain ridge, overlooking Tucson known as Thimble Peak.
