My afternoon on The Mountain included lunch atop a rock at ladybug saddle, a drive to the end of the highway to check out the progress of the snowmelt, and a dayhike. I hiked from the upper Noon Creek trailhead up the Noon Creek Trail to the Arcadia Trail junction. Followed the Arcadia Trail down, then walked the highway down to my truck. It was a fine loop hike for a beautiful spring day in the Pinalenos.
