Went with Elisabeth and 4 others to Picketpost. Last time was October 2012 and it hasn't gotten any easier. The thing to remember about this hike is to enjoy the scramble and don't worry about staying exactly on track. I think you could go up 10 times and have a different route each time. We took the side trip out to the northeast; got to look down on Boyce Thompson Arboretum which you don't normally see from any other place on the trail. Old Pinal City is down there someplace. A little hazy but great views in every direction. The mailbox is REALLY full.

Be real careful and deliberate on the way down; numerous places to take a header.

The flowers are really starting to pop on the lower slopes. Great day for hiking.
