We had rain poured down on us most of the time we were in the inner basin with small hail falling at times. Lightning was also present this morning with one lightning strike hitting about a mile away from us. Once we reached the junction with the Weatherford trail the clouds opened up and we were treated to some really cool light reflections hitting down on the inner basin. The rain went away for about half hour and after another batch rain clouds formed on top of us. This happened as we were on the Doyle Peak saddle, the rain gradually continued to get stronger and some lightning bolts were see hitting down about 3 miles away, by this time we reached the summit drenched and only stayed up there for a couple minutes before heading back down. On the way back down we didnt come across anyone, the rains pretty much sent everyone home. Living in Phoenix we dont get to experience the rain a whole lot, this hike was a very much welcome adventure! |
