Mt. Kimball
Mt. Kimball is one of the high points of the Catalina front range.
The most direct route to the summit is from the Finger Rock Trail at
the north end of Alvernon Way. The trail is fairly rough and quite
steep for the first few miles. Once atop Mt. Kimball excellent views
of Samaniego ridge and the north side of the Catalinas are attained.

destination is the high point of the Tucson Mountains at 4687 feet,
Wasson peak. This map is of the eastern approach, from the trailhead

GPX Networks
The following GPS maps were generated automatically from overlapping input tracks by TopoFusion's network algorithm. Each segment in the networks is a single track and trail junctions are labeled with waypoints. These files will load successfully in other GPX supported software (as well as in TopoFusion). To get the full benefit of displaying, profiling and creating new routes with these networks you need TopoFusion.All of the maps available here include descriptions of each trail segment and waypoint. Right click on a segment in TopoFusion and choose "Edit Track Properties" to see the description.
Brian Head
Brian Head is a town and ski resort in southern Utah. It is home to many
superb mountain biking trails, including the epic Virgin River Rim
trail. It hosts the Brian Head Epic 100 mile mountain bike race as
well as other regular distance races. It's best to visit in the
summer to escape the heat -- all the trails are above 8000 feet, and
some go to 11,000. This network file is available as part of the
TopoFusion demo. Download Brian Head Network in GPX format.
Starr Pass
Starr Pass, otherwise known as Tucson Mountain Park, is host to many
miles of rugged desert terrain. It is a favorite of local riders. You
can ride as long as your body can take the abuse. Starr Pass is also
unique in that it is has a very complicated network of trails. This
network covers most of the major trails. We will be updating an
expanded Starr Pass network soon.Download Starr Pass Network in GPX format.
