This was a nice easy loop. Went with friends to one of the larger pools in Cave Creek. While they took their time relaxing before heading back to the car, I continued on to do the whole loop. Substantial wildflowers were seen for the last mile before hitting skunk tank and during the rather substantial climb. Had to run the last mile and a half to catch up to them, the climbing slowed me down because there are no real flat spots on top. :sweat:

Trail is in pretty good shape, considering my last few hikes haven't really been on much of any trail, it made it all the more easier.
