Hit a quick loop today before driving back down to Phoenix for a couple of days. Absolutely beautiful weather today in rim country with temps in the low 50s and plenty of sunshine. I switched it up a little bit and went counter clockwise this time. I like getting the jeep road over with and I really enjoy the 800ft in 1/2 mile final climb to the summit but overall I've decided I prefer the clockwise route up and along the ridgeline. Enjoyed a nice long nutrition break on my usual perch atop the peak, signed the registry and got moving. Views were good but not great as some of that haze has worked its way up into the mountains. To my surprise I did not encounter a single elk or deer, just a few birds and a massive jackrabbit that I initially thought was a small deer. Both tanks are now free of ice.
