Denny set up this fun summer classic. The long drive for the cooler temps is worthy. Temps maxed out at 74 for a few minutes around 2:45pm. Otherwise typically 70 or less. :y:

The wind was brisk for half the hike then finally laid down a bit. We did this clockwise. Believe counter clockwise is my preference. A few deadfall trees block East Baldy #95 but nothing horrible.

We met Elizabeth along the way on a backpack with a White Mountain women's group. Bug count on the summit - 1 ladybug. Large portions of the loop are powder dusty similar to the BA, SK & NK at Grand Canyon. As always, beware the fetid odor of Parry's Primrose.

On the way home we enjoyed a peaceful dinner at Chez BK.
