Took the day off to take advantage of cool Valley temps and one last day hike in the Supes before it gets too hot. Went to Peralta with the idea that I was going to hike the Barks Canyon Complete Loop. I changed my mind when I got to the lower Barks Canyon turnoff and decided on the Miners Needle Loop instead. Nothing exciting about this loop, at least not today anyway. I was hoping to save the day and catch upper Barks Canyon when I got to that junction. That didn't pan out either because I was getting tired by the time I got there. I haven't been hiking enough lately and I felt it today. Bicycling and going to the gym are not the same as hiking. Despite cool weather and a nice breeze, I called it quits at 11:30. Shameful.
