| no partners | | Met up with 7 friends at SK TH, we headed down to Cedar Ridge at 7pm and had a picnic, watched the sunset, we flipped on 3 sets of party lights and pulled out some glow sticks and created what is now known as "Cedar Rave". The huge full moon began to rise and just before it peeked over the rim we all decided to move on.
Jack, Kim, Ranger Robb and Erin left us for the rim, the two Joes, myself and Emily lit up SK as we pranced down to the Tonto.
I'd only been on tiny bits of Tonto before and I love it!!
Hiked mostly by the moon, party lights went off well before IG, saw tons of critters 
Stopped at IG to soak our feet in the creek, a tradition with me  watched a dozen bats swoop down above our toes to snatch bugs off the waters surface.
Headed up BA, the moon was hidden by the rim by the time we reached 3 mile rest house.
Looking back at the canyon all painted and glowing in the moonlight is one of those things you just have to experience for yourself, no words can describe the sheer beauty.
By now all my trail mix was settling wrong and the last 2.5 miles up were misery for my poor stomach. Note to self check expiration dates on trail mix and cliff bars!!! 
Either way, beautiful hike. Glad I finally got to experience this, made it even better being with good friends under the full moon.
What an awesome backyard! |
