I had asked John to go up Camelback Sunday the 21st and he said he was wanting to do this hike; I'm glad we decided on this one.

Had my Guidebook and it suggested a short continuance past Boulder Basin on Dutchman to see Aylor's Arch. (see photos)

Hardly felt the 9.5 miles, VERY cool weather. Thought we would get wet with incoming rain, but I think we just missed some NASTY black weather.

Great views of the Needle and John found the biggest tarantula I've ever seen, very near my foot.

(See photos)

This hike has sparked my interest in the Supes and I hope to get back there again soon..
