I thought we might be able to get lucky and be able to enjoy a nice hike up Peeley due to the forecast of heavy cloud cover and the slightly cooler temps. I turned out to be right and this proved to be a very pleasant little hike and summit, for this area in July.

The road seemed to have a few more washouts than usual and was kind of slow going, but we got there just fine and started to some nice temps. There was a little humidity and we all felt it on the climb, but the summit was breezy and felt great. We spent a little time enjoying the nice cloudy views and then headed back before it got too warm out.

The trail was in great shape and the new, or newer AZT Trail information board at the trailhead looks great. I love being able to hit 7k so close to the valley with Peeley, but the road to the trailhead kind of negates this attraction to the area for me.
