Joined a group of meetup hikers for a trip out to the Salt River Overlook today. Left my home in north Phoenix in the rain at 6am and drove through steady rain all the way down to the 60. The rain paused long enough for us to get out to the trail head and hike all the way to the overlook. Thunder, lightning, and blowing rain accented our return to the trailhead. Not only was the overlook fantastic, we were also presented with a spectacular cloud burst and a wonder double rainbow! Saw some deer on the way out around the first bench and running water here and there. Delicious lunch and ice cream at Tortilla Flats afterwards. However, I don't recommend the fudge. I do recommend using the GPS tracks from Joe for this hike and track for Pickax Canyon.
