| no partners | | What a wonderful day I had yesterday. I will repeat what almost everyone has said before, thanks a lot for suggesting a shuttle approach to this trail. No kidding about the heart-raising climb, oh my God!
We did the trail starting from the trailhead to the Palisades visitor center (anyone knows why can't we park there by the way?). Novio spring has very little water right now but the trail is so luscious and green and full of wildflowers, the prettiest trail I've done on Mt Lemmon, for sure! 
The trail is fairly easy to follow, although there's a lot of overgrowth and fallen tress along the way. We got lost almost at the end and went to the summit of Mt Bigelow instead of continuing down to the visitors center. It wasn't bad but it had started raining and I got really worried that we would get caught in a thunderstorm  . Fortunately it didn't happen. I feel really proud of myself for having completed this trail, it was really hard for a wimp like me that doesn't climb at all  |
