| no partners | | Mona and Linda joined me for a lollipop hike starting from the end of Golden Eagle Blvd in Fountain Hill. We hiked out Dixie Mine, turned left on the service road, then went right on Prospector, right on Bell Pass, right on Windmill, right on Coachwhip, and right again on Dixie Mine which eventually led us back to the parking area.
It felt a little warmer to me today, but that was probably due to the slightly increased humidity.
Visibility was very poor. Mona told me that smoke from the wildfires in California and Oregon had blown into the Phoenix area. Prominent landmarks such as Four Peaks, Weaver's Needle, and the Flatiron were totally obscurred by the haze. Even Red Mountain, which is much closer was difficult to see.
The air was smelled slightly smoky too though, thankfully, I really had to sniff it in deeply to detect it. (Or it may just be that I got used to it.) |
