| no partners | | Starting at Beehives, a bit of road, cw loop around Pinnacles, then ccw loop around Pinnacles, and back. Not as tough a course as yesterday, but still plenty challenging with 1 scramble. A lot of the Pinnaces Trail is in washes, but not the deep, incised washes the Prospect Trail follows, so more running on firm sand and gravel versus yesterday's rocks. Very beautiful with stellar views. And this time, you could look around at the views instead of staring fearfully at your feet. As a consequence of the more open wash, there was not as much shade as yesterday, but temps were pleasant.
The east half of the Pinnacles Loop is across open desert with occasional posts to sight on, but with no obvious tread most of the time. Seems to see little action from hikers, so very glad I had been on it before and knew what to expect. Running across open desert, the larger rocks didn't bother me as they had in the washes, although I'm not sure why. |
