OK, I'm seeing a lot of people posting interest in Friday hikes...in addition to myself and a few buddies who also have Fridays off oftentimes. Let's give it a shot...who's in for a day hike on Friday the 31st? Post interest here, and places of interest.
I've been interested in checking off another chunk of the Highline Trail...I've done See Canyon TH to 260 TH, but want to do everything else west of See Canyon TH. Mostly, I think what would be ideal is somewhere within a couple of hours drive tops from Phoenix so the heat won't be totally unbearable (100 or less)

The Drew Trail is pretty cool. Maybe Kendricks Peak.

I might go depend on what you choose. The Highline is better suited for mountain biking IMO.

I'm pretty flexible, as long as it's cool. Kendrick would be fine with me

It looks like the Kendrick loop is hitting a nerve, I'll label it that. That's going to be 5-6 hours driving, so how early should we meet, 4/5am?

Sweet!
The earlier the better IMO, but I'm game for whatever.

I am ready.
One suggestion, let’s drive up Thursday night, and start hiking early AM.
