| partners | | I did this hike with Agendron as a training hike for big Trans-Supes in November. I put on as close to a full pack as I could put together. I think the temperature must have hit the 90's because it was pretty hot. I took 6 liters of water and drank all of it with a mile left to hike. I am now have serious doubts of my ability to do the Trans-Supes hike because doing two 16 mile hikes on consecutive days seems inconcievable right now. Hopefully the weather will be cooler for that hike, but my feet were also hurting quite alot by the end. This hike was made much more challenging than it would normally be by my taking a full pack and the higher temps.
The views of 4Peaks were very nice, especially the closer we got. Lots of nice views of the Superstitions, 4Peaks, McDowells/Fountain Hills, etc. The last portion of this hike is on the 4WD FR401, which gains and loses elevation quite a few times, which makes the end portion rather grueling.
Agendron is from France and has been here only 6 months. He's been up to Humphrey's Peak and the bottom of the Canyon (as a day hike) so he can hang pretty well. He seems interested in the Trans-Supes hike. On the ride out he said he hadn't ever seen a rattlesnake. Today he saw not only that but a coyote for the first time on the ride back to 87. |
