65º during my hike this morning, I'll take it.

Same thing happened in southeast Phoenix last weekend...

Yeah, past couple of mornings have been pleasant hiking on SoMo.

I think statewide we'll be in the full swing of things in the next five days or so!

@Canyonram
Very interesting read. Thanks for posting.

I was told they're roughly half a mile apart and burning on the northbound side of the 87 at MP 247. Not good.

Strayhorse has been on my list for awhile, ugh.

Wouldn't that be one hell of a curve ball. Lets hope that doesn't happen!

Looking at historical data for Sky Harbor it appears we are in a similar pattern as 2017. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see 118+ before the end of this month.

Still haven't heard the cicadas yet, I bet that changes this week.

accurate.

@JoelHazelton
I forget about the cabin loop, that's a fun hike. I am not sure what we're going to do but I appreciate the feedback.

@Tough_Boots
Thanks for the reply.

Taking my nephews this weekend to do a portion of the Turkey-Beaver loop. Probably going counter clockwise and ending it at Beaver Park. They have not had any experience with hiking and very limited experience outside of the city. I haven't hiked this loop myself but it looks like it's pretty easy. ...

@ALMAL
That's a decent spot too.

I don't remember the weekend that I hiked that loop last year, but it was in the first part of June and it was still cold and a fair bit of snow in/around the summit. Not sure how 2019 and 2020's levels compare but you'll probably have have a little bit of post-holing on your trip.

There is no shortage of miserable hiker trash out there who eat nothing but cold soaked meals on the trail.

Cold soaking is not all that bad... It'll make your appreciate your post-hike meal a bit more too.

Read that as well, not surprised.

Not a bad idea considering fuels are likely higher in some regions this year than last.
