| no partners | | Have a shoulder issue, so decided a more hikey, no scramble hike was in order.
Besides keeping an eye out for burros (none spotted) and petroglyphs (found the plotted ones), the other highlight of this hike is the incredible diversity of mosses & lichens on many of the rocks, particularly the small hill about a 1/3 of a mile west of Little Jim, on the northern half of the loop. There were lots of singing birds. :-)
After a beer break at the Big Jim intersection, I headed back. Despite having been out here five times — hiking Walkin’ Jim four times, and Peak 3465 the other — this was the first time I actually completed the southern half of the loop. Boy, it sure seems to drag on forever.
Any idea why the range is called the Hieroglyphic Mountains and not the Petroglyphic Mountains?

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
Amazing lush grasses, and even some healthy patches of weeds, but only scattered mostly microscopic flowers. |
