| no partners | | I initially used the official gps route, which I cloned, reverse, joined and synced, to produce my stats, adding in the difference to the summit of Mount Bigelow. I was surprised that an out and back from the further trailhead was 3298'. I came back and used Nick's route from 6/21 and arrived a more accurate ( I think and hope) route I posted to the hike. I trimmed the AEG stats for my log, and was further surprised at them. I bumped the miles slighlty, since I started at the Sunset TH. It is a solid hike, which was made a bit harder by thinking it was easier, and also by the extreme humidity.
I set out with Dan from Alt, and a friend of his. They turned back at the Davis Spring Trail junction while I went to the summit of Bigelow and ate lunch. Storm built up very quickly, and I hiked back with intermittent light rain. It was more like Pennsylvania than Arizona on the hike, with both the birds and the extreme humidity that made hiking rather unpleasant. Very lush and green on this trail, too. The birds made this a surrogate for a second June trip to the Pinalenos. The dry season somehow ended just as it began this year, and we'll see when I can head there, but at least I had a nice hike like this which was reminiscent of being over there a few weeks ago. Either way, this ought to be my last hike up here for a while. |
