With "Desert Puppy". First time hiking this South Mountain Trail. Climbs from the Pima Canyon trail head, past the Marcos de Niza inscription and up and down the ridgeline certainly pushed my heart rate up near the max!

Took a break with Skippy by the Ridgeline Christmas Tree. Some great views from this vantage point!

As we approached Beverly Canyon, could hear a constant 60 Hertz hum from the approaching power lines. Once at Beverly Canyon could not spot any obvious "open" trail continuing along the ridgeline to Hidden Valley. Three distinct trails making the climb up the ridge were either marked "Area CLosed" or blocked by rocks.

Continued along Beverly Canyon Trail over to Pima Canyon Trail and on to Hidden Valley.
