| no partners | | Went up north looking to catch the change of the leaves. I wasn't sure what to expect, based on other triplogs and leaf reports from around the state. While we did catch quite a bit of changing leaves, I think it was the start of things. I am betting that next weekend will be amazing for this portion of the state. Lots of yellows, and a few reds and oranges around.
This trail is beautiful! Well shaded and the creek provided a nice sound track for the first portion of the hike. The second portion of the trail goes UP quite a bit, which I wasn't really expecting. It's quite steep in portions. We didn't go all the way to Rim Road, and decided to turn around about 1/4 of a mile from the end, to avoid another uphill climb. We found a great place to have some snack and get some photos before heading back to the trailhead.
Even though the forecast called for thunderstorms, they never even flirted with us, though we did see them a few miles away on our way back to Phoenix. |
