Took a couple fellow grad students from our department out here for a nice easy day, and first view of something other than the standard Camelback/South Mountain/Flatiron hikes for them Always like to show people this area, it's such an amazing spot so close to home. We left Margie's Cove at 11 am (somehow missing my good buddy Ken, who was out there that same day at that same spot...), and headed out on the trail, picking out peak 1889 as a good place to survey the area. There has been some recent work done on this trail, and it's gone from the old two-track to single track now. Looks good.

Headed up the drainage on the northeast side of the peak and scrambled up, and these guys got their first cholla-dodging experience, an AZ rite of passage

But they did great, and we all soaked in the view before heading home.
