I took advantage of the cool temps and stayed in town for a glorious hike on South Mountain. Parked at 24th street, headed up Geronimo to National to Hidden Valley. Took a side excursion up to the double cross and then bush wacked the rest of the way up to Guadalupe Ridge, climbed over some giant rocks and returned to Hidden Valley on the unnamed connector trail. A short jaunt on National back to Mormon Loop and we were at the trail head in no time at all.
