Phoneline Trail runs along the eastern slope of Sabino Canyon. Created to carry supplies up to Summerhaven on Mt. Lemmon.
Later, the first phone line from Tucson to Mt. Lemmon ran along the trail. If you look carefully at the higher elevations,
you can find broken lines and insulators on the ground.

(Note Small Saguaro Next to the Dead Saguaro)
A young saguaro cactus usually starts life under the protection of a mesquite or palo verde tree, call a nurse tree. When this two-foot saguaro next to the dead saguaro began life, at least 15 years ago, it was next to a stately saguaro along the Phoneline Trail in Sabino Canyon. Last year the elder saguaro died, leaving behind the young saguaro having provided a well-protected beginning to life.

Time’s Body
—in the middle of the beginning they woke you
from a long sleep;
you could see the edges of the world
being formed, the boundaries
space would make in its eagerness
to be included,
the problem time would have
in its need to be the main thing.
The source of life is not life
but rebellion toward meaning.
When you saw the workers were already busy,
that the list you’rd been handed
was usual and impossible
and held it all, and thin
or most, your will
strong as a paper clip
you needed a location
from which to act on your assigned nature
so you chose time:
seed of light,
seed of torment—

After spending most of the summer and early autumn at higher elevations in the Santa Catalina Mountains, this past Friday SCVN led their first Friday hike in Sabino Canyon and were welcomed with beautiful fall weather. The hike was to have been to Seven Falls, but because of high waters, the Phoneline Trail became the hike of choice.
