Mount Lemmon Trail #5

After getting rained out of our lunch at Marshall Gulch, we headed to our 2nd short hike of the day. I'd done this one once before more than a year ago, and I remembered how pleasant it was. We did the short loop with the Mount Lemmon Trail CW. Tons of wildflowers along Meadow, and very green. Amazing views once we left the forest. We stopped and soaked in the views for a while before continuing back into the forest. We stopped at the overlook on the way back and took in some more great views. It rained on us off and on throughout the hike, but it stayed light and pleasant. Perfect!

The climb back up was a little tiring... more than it should've been. I need to get back into hiking shape! Thank goodness summer is almost over.
