This was a lasso loop type hike starting at the 24th St. TH. Brian and I went up the Mormon Trail, thru Hidden Valley, along the National Trail, down Corona de Loma, up CDL East and back to 24th St. Weather was nice and cool but the hazy air pollution looked awful.

Haven't been on some of these trails for over 11 years now. Kind of scary that much time has passed.

Saw a lone beagle along the CDL East trail that got separated from its owner who we saw later running down to get it. The traffic along the Mormon Trail on our way back was as heavy as any I've seen since I used to hike Camelback every week when I first moved to Phoenix.
