| partners | | James suggested this hike after doing some trail runs in the area. For being so close to the I-17, it was remarkably quiet and spent a fair amount of time with no views of development. Only one section was slow going as we poked around to find the easy river crossing, the rest of it is very smooth trail. Only two cars at the trailhead when we left, and 4 on our return (one was a black VW with a HAZ sticker!).
Saw a Desert Hare fly by in front of us, yanked a Cholla out of Spideys lateral Achilles with my trusty pliers, and sampled a perfectly ripe Prickly Pear fruit. Good company, good weather, good trail.
Good times. |
