| Course Lasso-Loop Hike | ||
Overview: This is a very simple little lasso loop from the common Wild Burro Trailhead, off of Dove Mountain Blvd. in the Tortolita Mountain trail system. Short and easy, it offers the perfect late day getaway or opportunity for a brief excursion into the desert mountains. The route finding is easy and the trails are all nice in here. An additional 0.5 mile round trip will bring you to the old line shack

Overview: This is another quick lasso loop in the Tortolitas with a nice little dose of elevation to keep you honest. In the spring there are some nice flowers along this route and there are excellent desert views from the top of the southern ridgeline of Wild Burro Wash.
