| no partners | | After moving yesterday's planned hike to Saturday to hope for better weather, I opted to hike this again today. It wasn't a disappointment, that is for sure. No, the weather and skies were not as good as last time, but it is still a very enjoyable hike and I really surprised myself with how fast I went. I parked outside the park gate and was at the scenic view by the Tower Observatory in 4 hours and 40 minutes, including 10 minutes of lunch on the West Side Road. I was down in 4 hours and 20 minutes.
I was concerned about clouds and wind today, as yesterday was rather nasty up high. It was a little cloudy, and overcast when up at Sun Spot, but it was pretty good overall, and the wind was not an issue at all. Chilly on the summit, but pleasant for most of the hike.
The hummingbird from last time was in the same pinyon. I think that his is territory.
I bumped up my miles and AEG as I parked outside of the park and walked around at Sunspot. |
